The genus Viburnum contains some 170 woody plant species in temperate and subtropical forests around the Northern Hemisphere and in Latin America and Southeast Asia. Over 70 Viburnum species are used in horticulture, and many are ecologically important. Building on years of prior research, and based directly upon herbarium specimens and new collections, the goal of this project is to resolve all remaining species-level taxonomic problems and to produce a comprehensive description of the entire group, with geographic range maps and richly-illustrated interactive identification keys that can be deployed on the web and in the field. All data will be internet-accessible and integrated into global biodiversity databases. This project will produce a global treatment of a widespread, taxonomically confusing, and horticulturally important plant lineage. In doing so, it will generate data and informatics tools of general value to the scientific community. This work will greatly increase the value of Viburnum as a model for addressing fundamental issues in evolutionary biology, ecology, and global change. The project will be transformative in modeling the use of knowledge of evolutionary relationships in producing a species-level taxonomic monograph. It will provide hands-on training in modern, collaborative, cyber-enabled systematic biology to students at all levels.

荚属植物包括大约170种木本植物，分布在北方半球、拉丁美洲和东南亚的温带和亚热带森林中。 超过70种荚属植物被用于园艺，其中许多具有重要的生态意义。 基于多年的前期研究，并直接基于植物标本馆标本和新的收藏，该项目的目标是解决所有剩余的物种水平的分类问题，并产生一个全面的描述整个组，地理范围图和丰富的互动识别键，可以部署在网络上和现场。 所有数据都可以通过互联网查阅，并纳入全球生物多样性数据库。该项目将产生一个广泛的，分类混乱，园艺重要的植物谱系的全球治疗。 在此过程中，它将产生对科学界具有普遍价值的数据和信息学工具。 这项工作将大大增加荚属植物作为解决进化生物学、生态学和全球变化中基本问题的模型的价值。 该项目将是革命性的建模使用进化关系的知识，在生产一个物种层次的分类学专著。 它将为各级学生提供现代，协作，网络系统生物学的实践培训。
