The 'Cycads of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium' collection aims to contribute to the discovery, description and analysis of the Cycadophyta plant division in Australia through collection, exchange, curation and study of high quality herbarium specimens and associated activities and collections based at the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium and with collaborators.
The N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium holds 85 specimens of Cycadophyta, all of which were collected in Australia. The collection includes specimens from the families Cycadaceae and Zamiaceae, and 23 distinct species. Specimens have been collected from the Australian states New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia, and the Northern Territory.
The specimen sheet collection of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium is databased and available to registered users for online data entry and data query. Records include most standard herbarium label fields (see http://www.une.edu.au/herbarium/collecting.php) as used across Australia (e.g. http://www.anbg.gov.au/cpbr/herbarium/collecting/field-note-book.html) including name, collector(s), locality and habitat. |
