Studies of the botanical specimens collected by von Siebold

对植物学标本的检查是在荷兰莱顿的Rijksherbery进行的。我们发现冯·西博尔德和他的日本和荷兰合作者总共收集了1,540张标本。其中342片为模式植物，200片为蕨类植物。我们用彩色和黑白拍摄了所有的床单。我们重新录制了冯·西博尔德在标签上添加的有趣的评论。冯·西博尔德在日本的植物学活动得到了日本植物学家的极大帮助。我们找到了95、26和20张标本，分别由Ito Keiske、Mizutani Sukeroku和Ohkochi Zonshin交给冯·西博尔德。这些标本中的大多数都很小，但很漂亮。除了这三位植物学家外，我们还发现了一批由几位不知名的日本植物学家制作的标本，但我们不知道他们是谁。除了通常干燥的标本，冯·西博尔德在精神上准备了标本。我们找出并检查了总共168个罐子。我们发现不仅果实不宜制作干标本，而且树叶和花朵的精神也得到了保存。标本的检验也在东京市立大学Makino标本馆进行。标本馆获得了冯·西博尔德于1963年从俄罗斯科马罗夫植物研究所收集的标本。然而，大多数标本都很小，而且没有很好的文献记载。我们继续对它们进行研究，发现了一些有趣的证据。

Examination of botanical specimens were carried out at the Rijksherbarium in Leiden, the Netherlands. We found a total of 1,540 sheets of specimens assembled by von Siebold and his Japaneass and Dutch collaborators. Of these 342 sheets are types and 200 are ferns. We photographed all sheets in color and in black and white. We recoarded interesting remarks added by von Siebold on the labels. Von Siebold's botanical activities in Japan were greatly helped by Japanese botanists.We found 95,26 and 20 sheets of specimens which were given to von Siebold by Ito Keiske, Mizutani Sukeroku and Ohkochi Zonshin respectively. Most of those specimens were small in size but beautiful. Besides the three botanists, we found a score of specimens made by several unknown Japanease botanists, however, we could not know who are them.Besides ordinarily dried specimens von Siebold prepared specimens in spirit. We searched out and examined a total of 168 jars. We found not only fruits which are unsuitable to make dried specimens but also leaves and flowers are preserved in spirit.Examination of specimens were also carried out at the Makino Herbarium of Tokyo Metropolitan University. The herbarium obtained specimens collected by von Siebold in 1963 from the Komarov Botanical Institute in Russia. However, most specimens are small in size and not well documented. We continued the studies of them and found some interesting evidences.
