The New York Botanical Garden American Bryophyte Catalog. Phase II. Central America, Mexico, and the West Indies

纽约植物园标本馆收藏了西半球最大的brathte标本，是世界上五个最大的brathte标本馆之一。 自19世纪末该机构成立以来，该机构的重点一直放在美洲的植物群上，而brancete植物标本馆在历史和现代brancete收藏方面都具有无与伦比的深度。 纽约植物园标本馆是本世纪出版的所有主要的关于美洲扁尾藻的植物区系论述的主要资源。该项目将对来自中美洲、墨西哥和西印度群岛的120 000个扁尾藻标本的数据进行编目和出版。 该项目提供的数据将加快对这些分类学和植物地理学关键区域的britonites的研究。 当与其他生物群体的数据集叠加时，在该项目过程中汇编的数据将加深我们对所涵盖地区生物多样性的理解。 在这个项目过程中创建的样本和权威记录将以多种方式提供，以增强其他样本编目工作。

The New York Botanical Garden Herbarium houses the largest collection of bryophyte specimens in the Western Hemisphere and is among the five largest bryophyte herbaria in the world. Since the inception of the institution in the late 1800's the focus of the institution has been on the flora of the Americas, and the bryophyte herbarium has unequalled depth in both historical and modern bryophyte collections. The NYBG herbarium has served as a major resource for all the major floristic treatments on American bryophytes published in this century.The project will catalogue and publish data from the 120,000 specimens of bryophytes from Central America, Mexico and the West Indies. The data made available as a result of this project will expedite research on bryophytes in these taxonomically and phytogeographically critical regions. When overlaid with data sets from other groups of organisms, the data compiled in the course of this project will deepen our understanding of the biodiversity of the areas covered. Specimen and authority records created in the course of this project will be made available in several ways to augment other specimen cataloguing endeavors.
