Studies of the botanical specimens collected by von Siebold

在荷兰莱顿的Rijksherbarium进行了植物标本的检查。我们发现了总共1,540张由冯·西博尔德和他的日本和荷兰合作者收集的标本。其中342张是模式植物，200张是蕨类植物。我们拍摄了所有的床单在彩色和黑色和白色。我们重新记录了冯·西博尔德在标签上添加的有趣评论。西博尔德在日本的植物学活动得到了日本植物学家的大力帮助，我们共找到伊藤敬介、水谷助六和大河内宗信分别赠送给西博尔德的植物标本95、26和20张。这些标本大多数都很小，但很漂亮。除了这三位植物学家之外，我们还发现了几十个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。我们一共检查了168个罐子。我们发现，不仅不适合制作干燥标本的水果，而且叶子和花也被保存在酒精中。东京都立大学的牧野植物标本室也进行了标本检查。该标本馆获得了1963年由冯·西博尔德从俄罗斯科马罗夫植物研究所收集的标本。然而，大多数标本体积小，没有很好的记录。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.
