Expansion of Botanical Collection and Completion of Special Projects in Herbarium Pacificum

太平洋植物标本馆是世界上最重要的植物收藏资源，代表了夏威夷和太平洋地区，特别是波利尼西亚、密克罗尼西亚和美拉尼西亚。毫无疑问，这是夏威夷群岛上最好的植物群收藏。这是夏威夷群岛独特植物群的代表，是这些岛屿保护和生物多样性研究的最核心和最重要的资源。该项目将为太平洋植物标本馆扩建一个约1320平方英尺的额外设施提供支持。该空间将配备一个压实系统和箱子，整个太平洋植物标本馆的藻类、苔藓、真菌和地衣收藏，以及现在分散在三个不同地点的Pandanus（螺旋松）的特殊收藏，将被转移到箱子中。这些变化将使主要植物标本室中开花植物和蕨类植物的数量增加33%，从而缓解目前的拥挤状况。最后，开花植物，藻类，熊猫和真菌收藏将带入一个充分策划的条件。

The Herbarium Pacificum is the world's most important resource for botanical collections representing Hawaii and the Pacific, particularly Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. It is, without question, the best collection of the flora of the Hawaiian Islands. This representation of the unique flora of the Hawaiian Islands stands as the most central and vital resource for conservation and biodiversity studies in these islands. This project will provide support for the expansion of Herbarium Pacificum into an additional facility of approximately 1320 sq.ft. That space will be equipped with a compactor system and cases, and the entire algal, moss, fungal and lichen collections of Herbarium Pacificum, as well as the special collection of Pandanus (screw pine) that is now scattered in three separate locations, will be moved into the cases. these changes will relieve present crowding of the collections of flowering plants and ferns in the main herbarium by expanding them some 33%. Finally, the flowering plant, algal, Pandanus and fungal collections will be brought into a fully curated condition.
