Flora of China

《中国植物志》是一个中美合作项目，目的是首次出版英文植物志（共25卷），并建立一个计算机数据库，收录约30,000种本地、归化和具有重要经济意义的维管植物的名称、特征和分布。出版的和计算机化的帐目将用于全世界的基础和应用研究、园艺学、养护和土地管理。手稿将由中国作者与数百名外国植物学家合作撰写，特别是来自美国、加拿大、欧洲、日本和俄罗斯的植物学家。所有帐户将在出版前进行审查。《中国植物志》预计将在15年内完成。美国的中心是密苏里植物园（协调中心）、阿诺德植物园、加州科学院和史密森学会。文字处理/数据输入在北京、广州、昆明和南京中心完成。要求经费用于编辑助理的薪金、编辑委员会会议、设备和通讯。在本资助期结束时，第17卷和第16卷（2329个物种）将出版，第15卷（1135个物种）将出版。18、24和4（3269种）将接近完成。该项目标志着中美两国乃至全球植物交流进入了一个新阶段。

The Flora of China is a Sino-American collaborative project to publish for the first time an English-language flora (in 25 volumes) and to develop a computerized database on the names, characteristics, and distributions of ca. 30,000 species of native, naturalized, and economically important vascular plants. The published and computerized accounts will be used worldwide in basic and applied research, horticulture, conservation, and land management. Manuscripts will be written by Chinese authors in collaboration with hundreds of foreign botanists, especially from the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, and Russia. All accounts will be reviewed before publication. The Flora of China is expected to be completed in 15 years. The U.S. centers are Missouri Botanical Garden (coordination center), Arnold Arboretum, California Academy of Sciences, and Smithsonian Institution. Word-processing/data-entry is done at the Beijing, Guangzhou, Kunming, and Nanjing centers. Funding is requested for editorial assistants salaries, Editorial Committee meetings, equipment, and communications. by the end of this grant period volumes 17 and 16 (2329 species) will be published, vol. 15 (1135 species) will be in press, and vols. 18, 24, and 4 (3269 species) will be near completion. This project marks a new stage in the promotion of botanical interchange between China and the U.S., and internationally.
