Plant Inventory Research in the Solomon Islands, with Special Reference to Medicinal Plant Resource

据估计，所罗门群岛的植物群有4 500多种维管植物，是南太平洋地区最丰富的植物群之一。考虑到群岛的地理和地质历史，植物物种特有的比率可能很高。尽管其多样性和经济潜力，然而，植物群仍然未编目，其经济价值的应用知识很少。重点介绍了日本传统医药钩藤的“长托子”和传统医药Tetradium（Euodia）的“五首汤”等，已经被研究过了在对所罗门群岛进行植物资源调查期间，共收集到植物标本7020份，植物种类2329种（SIMB 1-2392），并提供了1440份定制药材。

Estimated to comprise over 4,500 species of vascular plants, the flora of the Solomon Islands is one of the richest of the South Pacific region. Given the geography and geologic history of the archipelago, the rate of plant species endemism is likely to be high. Despite its diversity and economic potential, however, the flora remains uncatalogued and applied knowledge of its economic value is scant. Focusing on the both of Uncaria used as traditional medicine as "Chotoko" and Tetradium (Euodia) used as a traditional medicine as "Goshuyu" in Japan etc., had been researched. During the period of plant inventory in Solomon Islands, 2329 (SIMB 1-2392) species were collected with the 7020 herbarium specimens, and 1440 plant materials known as custom medicines were given.
