Full description
The 'Acacia (Fabaceae subfam. Mimosoideae) of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium' collection aims to contribute to the discovery, description and analysis of this Australian genus of eudicots 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 approximately 4,150 specimens of Acacia, nearly all of which were collected in Australia. A small number specimens have been collected in Fiji, Mexico, and New Caledonia. The collection includes approximately 380 distinct species of Acacia. Specimens have been collected from all Australian states and the two main territories.
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.
