Full description
The ‘Myrtaceae of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium' collection aims to contribute to the discovery, description and analysis of this important southern hemisphere family of eudicots, with special focus on Australian Myrtaceae 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. A particular local effort has been on Homoranthus–Darwinia and Eucalyptus.
The N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium holds 8,829 specimens of Myrtaceae of which 8,805 were collected in Australia. The collection includes 1,157 species of Myrtaceae and 72 genera. Specimens have been collected from all Australian states and territories. Specimens from outside Australia have been collected in China, Fiji, New Caledonia, and New Zealand.
