Construction of the metadata base and image database of the Furuse's collection.

先生是日本著名的植物收藏家之一，从北海道以北的亚北极到冲绳以南的热带地区，包括小川群岛，收集了许多日本植物。他保存并保存了超过15万张植物标本。我们对中国、英国、瑞典、美国和日本的标本资料进行了重新审查，以便利用植物标本图像建立元数据库。在调查过程中发现，PE(中国科学院植物研究所)、K(皇家植物园，Kew)、NA(美国国家植物园，USDA/ARS)和GH(哈佛大学植物标本馆)存放了许多Furuse先生收集的标本。此外，我们还鉴定了包括24个正型在内的27个分类单元的83个模式材料。这里报道了这些材料以及它们的图像和一些植物学笔记。

Mr. Miyoshi FURUSE (1912-1966), one of well-known plant collectors of Japan, had collected many Japanese plants from the subarctic north of Hokkaido to the tropical south of Okinawa, including the Ogasawara Islands. He had preserved and kept over hundred fifty thousand sheets of plant specimens. We reexamined the herbarium materials in China, United Kingdom, Sweden, the United States, and Japan in order to build the meta-database using plant specimen images. In the process of investigation, it became clear that PE (Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences), K (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), NA (United States National Arboretum, USDA/ARS) and GH (Herbarium of Harvard University) had deposited many specimens collected by Mr. Miyoshi FURUSE. Furthermore, we are abele to discriminate 83 type materials of 27 taxa containing 24 holotype. Those materials are here reported with their images and some botanical notes.
