	Connecticut College - Arboretum Plant Collections
		The Native Plant Collection was established in 1931.
		This long-standing commitment to native plants is a mainstay of the Arboretum.
		While it is true that plants often do well in landscape conditions rather different than their native habitat, the point here is that we know which native plants do well in the extreme sites-in very wet and very dry soils, in full sun and in dense shade.

	NCCPG National Plant Collection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NCCPG National Plant Collection® scheme is the main main conservation vehicle whereby the National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens (NCCPG) can accomplish its mission: to conserve, grow, propagate, document and make available the resource of garden plants that exists in the United Kingdom.
		Most of the collections are based around a related group, for example, a collection of oaks or daffodils.
		A few National Collections are of plants introduced by a prolific nursery or plant hunter; The Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Arboretum hold a collection of Hillier's introductions.

	PLANT COLLECTION
		The collection and identification of plants are very useful skills for anyone who works in the biological sciences, and forms a vital base for those planning to do graduate work in botany or biology.
		The ultimate goal of making plant collections and maintaining herbaria is: to preserve for all time a series of specimens representing the flora of a region, along with a set of notes that will yield the maximum information about the plants concerned.
		The plant collection consists of a series of specimens which are correctly pressed, dried, identified, and accompanied by typed herbarium labels and a one page list of plants.

	Plant Collecting - Guide to Plant Collection & Identification - Jane M. Bowles
		Plant specimens are laid in folded newspaper between layers of blotter sheets or foam and corrugated cardboard.
		Plants in their newspaper folders are piled in layers of alternating blotter and cardboard on one of the wooden frames (i.e., cardboard - blotter - folded newspaper [with plant inside] - blotter - cardboard - blotter - etc.).
		Plants with many long, narrow leaves such as grasses will bend and press more neatly if a piece of paper with a slit in it is placed over the elbow of the bend to hold all the leaves together.

		Once a plant has been given its full, correct name in a text, further references to it (provided they are unambiguous) may be shortened to the initial letter of the generic name followed by the specific epithet.
		The plant, growing on hummocks in the middle of bogs, reminded him of Andromeda, legendary princess of Ethiopia, whose beauty lasted only as long as she was a virgin.

	Plant Collection
		This collection is due near the end of the semester (Saturday, December 9, 5 pm) and is required to pass the course.
		Collections should be plentiful enough to nearly fill a folded newspaper sheet (except for small plants that are rare at the place where they were found; in such cases this should be explained on your label).
		Plant parts should be arranged so there is as little overlap as possible; stems should be bent sharply and neatly to fit in the paper, not curved or twisted.

	SDNHM: How to Make a Plant Collection
		Before collecting plants in the wild, you should understand the legal issues of the ownership of the land and its resources, and the ethical issues of possible damage to wild plant populations and to endangered species.
		More and more the conservation ethic is to collect in the wild only when it serves a long-term research purpose, such as documenting what occurs in an area that is proposed for development, or discovering what grows in an area that has not been much explored.
		But these collections must be placed in permanent storage in order to serve their documentary purpose, and once in a scientific collection they can continue to contribute to science in many other ways.

		PART I: The purpose of this plant collection is to learn about the native plants in Southern Orange County.
		There are many native plants in your area that you now call "weeds." These plants actually have names and medicinal uses or are edible.
		Repeat this layering with new plants until all of the plants are in the press.

		Beal established the collection as part of the first forestry test plantings, as an educational and research resource, and to enhance the aesthetic quality of the campus.
		The diverse woody plant collection is designed not only for use in teaching, research, and exhibits, but also to serve an aesthetic function by complementing the campus landscape, buildings, and other university facilities.
		Plant collections serve as resources for a wide range of research that capitalizes on the tremendous diversity of species represented within the collection.

	Plant Collections
		The USBG Plant Collection includes all the plants that are used to fulfill the mission of the institution with the exception of those foliage and crop plants that are grown for the express purpose of leaving our premises (and care) for permanent or indefinite display elsewhere.
		Ideally, for every plant in the collection a programmatic purpose has been designated for which the plant is needed, and which justifies the investment of staff and material resources necessary for its acquisition and maintenance.
		While individual plants are the building blocks of exhibits, the plant collection as a whole reflects our institutional history, supports programmatic goals, and helps shape the future.

		Tall fescue germplasm is obtained from southern locations: exposed to frequent and cyclic drought; no summer irrigation; periodic low mowing heights; and plants found on hard, red, nonexpanding clay soils.
		Other tall fescues were collected during late summer within 6 inches of a paved road.
		Plants surviving close proximity to asphalt-paved roadsides should have the ability to adapt to continuous high temperature stress by maintaining adequate carbohydrate production for root survival and viability during the summer.

		Even plants that once existed in large, landscape-level stands are being reduced to small, fragmented populations because of human pressures.
		It is particularly important not to over-collect seed from plants that reproduce primarily by seed.
		Small amounts of seed from several plants is better than a large amount of seed from one plant, since the genetic diversity in the collection will be higher, and is more likely to result in capturing a plant most amenable to cultivation.

		One of the greatest strengths of the paleobotanical collection is the Pennsylvanian Mazon Creek flora, a collection of 23,907 fossil plant specimens.
		The Cross collection, which is extensively documented by field notes with precise locality and stratigraphic data, includes material from numerous North American and foreign localities from the Silurian through the Paleogene (Neogene collections were retained at Michigan State University).
		While the Cross collection is extensively documented by field notes, considerable curatorial work is required to improve the availability of these materials and to maximize their utility to the scientific community.
