The New York Botanical Garden, with over 5 million plant specimens, is an essential resource for botanical research in the U.S. and internationally, providing vast service to national and international community of scholars and students. The garden is strongly committed to its collections and research activities, as indicated by the long range plan to expand into a new wing in 1996 and to begin computerization of the vast holdings. This grant will enable the Garden to maintain its enormous loan/visitor program and to provide expansion capabilities until the new building is completed in 1996. Also this support will allow hitherto unstudied and underused parts of the collection-- lichens and fungi--to be identified, curated and used in the botanical research and education.

纽约植物园拥有超过500万株植物标本，是美国和国际植物学研究的重要资源，为国内外学者和学生提供广泛的服务。该花园坚定地致力于其收藏和研究活动，正如1996年扩大到一个新翼的长期计划所表明的那样，并开始对大量馆藏进行计算机化。这笔赠款将使花园能够维持其庞大的贷款/游客计划，并提供扩建能力，直到1996年新建筑完工。此外，这种支持将允许迄今为止未被研究和未充分利用的部分——地衣和真菌——被识别、管理并用于植物学研究和教育。
