Workshop to Plan the Flora of the Philippines Project, Honolulu, Hawaii, January 13-15, 1988

该提案要求提供资金，以允许伯尼斯·P·毕晓普博物馆植物学部主任Seymour H.Sohmer博士与菲律宾共和国国家博物馆植物学部助理主任Domingo A.Madulid博士共同举办讲习班，规划“菲律宾的植物群”项目。菲律宾群岛是一个植物多样性极强的地区，目前据信存在约8000至10000个物种，其中约1000个可能是该群岛独有的。举办研讨会的目的是规划对菲律宾植物区系进行全面调查所需的研究工作。

This proposal requests funds to permit Dr. Seymour H. Sohmer, Chairman, Department of Botany, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, to conduct with Dr. Domingo A. Madulid, Assistant Chief, Botany Division, National Museum, Republic of the Philippines, a workshop for planning the "Flora of the Philippines" project. Four U.S. experts who have an interest in tropical floristic botany, three key Philippine botanists, and a member of the Flora Malesiana project staff, Rijksherbarium, Leiden, the Netherlands, will be participants in the three-day workshop. The Philippine archipelago is a region of great plant diversity with some 8,000 to 10,000 species believed to exist at present, some 1,000 of which may be unique to the archipelago. In the Philippines today there is little knowledge of the number of flowering plants that exist there, no unified floristic account of them is available, and, therefore, no cataloging of endangered species has been made. The workshop will be held for the purpose of planning the research necessary to produce a comprehensive survey of the Philippine flora.
