Analysis of the herbarium of selected tropical tree species from Central African Republic

Na Oddelku za Gozdarstvo in obnovljive gozdne vire smo z Oddelka za lesarstvo Biotehniške fakultete prejeli herbarij izbranih tropskih drevesnih vrst iz Centralnoafriške republike. Da smo herbarij lahko vključili v zbirko Herbarij LJUGO, je bila potrebna njegova temeljita analiza. Herbarij je vključeval petintrideset (35) pol s po več primerki sedemnajstih (17) različnih drevesnih vrst. Ti so bili nabrani na različnih lokacijah in verjetno na različnih osebkih. Primerki istih vrst so se razlikovali tudi po datumu nabiranja. Pole so vsebovale etikete s podatki, vsak primerek je imel svojo. Preverili smo veljavnost imen, uporabnost posamezne vrste ter ocenili ohranjenost primerkov. Izdelali smo lastne etikete in herbarij vključili v bazo podatkov. Nazadnje smo predlagali tudi najprimernejši način hrambe herbarija za njegovo dolgoročno ohranitev.Department of Forestry and Renewable Forest Resources received a herbarium of selected tropical tree species from the Central African Republic from the Department of Wood Science and Technology, Biotechnical Faculty. To include the herbarium in the Herbarium Collection LJUGO, its thorough analysis was needed. Herbarium included thirty-five (35) sheets with several specimens of seventeen (17) different tree species. The samples were harvested at various locations, probably on different trees. Specimens of the same species often had a different date of harvest. The sheets also contained data labelseach specimen had its own label. We verified the validity of names, characteristics, properties and usability of each species, and evaluated the condition of the specimens. We made our own labels and included the herbarium in the database. Finally we proposed the most suitable way of storing the herbarium for its long-term preservation
