Galium L. is a large genus of annual and perennial herbaceous plants in the family Rubiaceae, occurring in the temperate zones of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Some species are informally known as bedstraw.
The first Herbarium at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden (CSBG SB RAS), Novosibirsk, Russia was organized in 1946. Now there are two herbarium collections in CSBG SB RAS with their own acronyms and registrations in the Index Herbariorum (NSK and NS). Collection contains about 800,000 herbarium specimens of vascular plants, mosses, lichens and fungi sampled in Siberia, Russian Far East, Europe, Asia and America.
Purpose
Our aim is to provide online access to CSBG SB RAS herbarium collections (NS, NSK) as a worldwide resource for biodiversity study.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
Most of material was collected in Russia (Siberia) but also materials from 28 other countries of Europe, Asia and North America are presented.Sampling
The CSBG SB RAS Digital Herbarium began to be created on the taxonomic basis in 2017. Completely digitized herbarium specimens of genera Allium, Geranium, Medicago, Rhododendron, family Primulaceae, rare plants of Siberian flora, as well as type specimens of vascular plants stored in NS and NSK collections at the CSBG SB RAS. The digitization results are published in the open access as 14 datasets on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) portal using the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) installed on the CSBG server.Quality Control
All herbarium specimens were tested by Dr. Ekaterina Pinzhenina.Method steps
- Digitization is performed on two ObjectScan 1600 scanners (Microtek) using software ScanWizard-Botany and MiVapp-Botany according to the international standards, at 600 dpi, with a barcode, 24-color scale and spatial scale bar. The Digital Herbarium is created as a network resource on biodiversity, the materials of which can be used in GBIF, for taxonomic treatments in the preparation of “Flora of Russia”, in various types of scientific research and educational purposes.
Taxonomic Coverages
The family Rubiaceae Juss. contains about 13,500 species in about 620 genera, which makes it the fourth-largest angiosperm family. Rubiaceae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, the largest species diversity is concentrated in the tropics and subtropics.
Genus Galium L. was first published by Carl Linne in Species Plantarum (1753:153).
