Herbarium - Herbarium (English spelling)

Japanese: ハーバリウム - はーばりうむ(英語表記)herbarium
Herbarium - Herbarium (English spelling)
A place where botanical specimens are stored and used to study a variety of plant species. It is also called a herbarium. Sometimes it simply refers to the building where the specimens are stored. In Japan, independent herbariums include the National Museum of Nature and Science, the University of Tokyo, the Makino Herbarium Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan University, and the Hattori Botanical Laboratory. There are also similar facilities built in museums around the country, although on a smaller scale. Plant taxonomy laboratories at Kyoto University, Hokkaido University, Tohoku University, Hiroshima University, and other universities have vast collections of specimens and have produced excellent research results, but they are not independent institutions in themselves.

Japanese:
植物の資料標本を収納し,それによって多様な植物の種について研究するところ。腊葉(さくよう)館ともいう。単に,標本が収蔵されている建物だけを指す場合もある。日本では,国立科学博物館植物部門,東京大学総合研究資料館植物部門,東京都立大学理学部牧野標本館,財団法人服部植物研究所などが独立したハーバリウムであり,そのほかに各地に建設されている博物館などにも規模は小さいがよく似た施設がつくられている。京都大学,北海道大学,東北大学,広島大学などの植物分類学研究室には膨大な資料標本が所蔵されており,優れた研究業績が上げられているが,それ自体が独立した機関とはなっていない。
