Description

The Jardin botanique de Montréal or Montreal Botanical Garden, is one of four municipal scientific museums committed to biodiversity and sustainable development. The botanical garden has approximately 22,000 taxa (species and cultivars) in culture in its 30 or so exterior thematic gardens and 10 exhibition greenhouses. The major exterior gardens include an arboretum, an alpine garden, a perennial and shade garden as well as Chinese, Japanese and First Nations Gardens. Greenhouses contain extensive orchid, aroid, begonia, gesneriad, bromeliad, succulent and fern collections. This dataset contains only the living and location non-sensitive specimens of the collection.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The data represents the living collections in culture at the Montreal Botanical Garden. The collection is therefore dynamic and is subject to constant change as accessions are removed (due to mortality for example) and new ones are added on a continual basis. The data will be updated once a year in January.

Sampling

BG-Base is the database used by the Montreal Botanical Garden. Accessions qualified as alive as of January of the current year are extracted from the database. Excluded from this dataset are annuals as well as nursery cultivated material (for example seedlings).

Quality Control

Inventories are performed for most collections on an annual basis. Material is accessioned under the name it is originally received. Nomenclatural revisions are regularly undertaken to assure that the nomenclature of the material in culture reflects current knowledge. However, formal identification of the material in culture is not systematically done.

Method steps

  1. The relevant data are extracted from BG-Base as text.

Taxonomic Coverages

Specialty collections include wild collected Araceae from French Guyana, a recognized North American Plant Collection Consortium (NAPCC) botanical rose collection and a substantial orchid collection. American Begonia species are also well represented in the collections.

Geographic Coverages

The collection is worldwide in scope. Taxa of temperate climates are cultivated in the exterior gardens. Greenhouses support mostly humid tropical and succulent taxa. Specialty collections include wild collected Araceae from French Guyana, a recognized North American Plant Collection Consortium (NAPCC) botanical rose collection and a substantial orchid collection. American Begonia species are also well represented in the collections.
