1 The herbarium and its use for biosecurity Ines Schönberger Landcare Research Allan Herbarium

2 A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens

3 The Allan Herbarium: New Zealand s largest collection of dried plant specimens

4 Over plant specimens Ancillary collections specialises in plants (indigenous and exotic) of the New Zealand region and Pacific largest collections from the Subantarctic Islands of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans forms part of the New Zealand National Herbarium Network

5 New Zealand National Herbarium Network

6 Harry Howard Barton Allan ( )

7 History of the collection CHR 1 collected 13 Oct 1928 Veronica serpyllifolia (Plantaginaceae)

8 Documentation of the introduction and dispersal of new weeds First record of Velvetleaf in NZ (from 1968) First record of the 2016 infestation

9 Distribution Map of Abutilon theophrasti

10 When and How did they get here? First Record and Distribution of Chrysanthemoides monilifera Boneseed

11 Garden Escapes Camellia seedlings

12 First Record from 1925 Paparoa Ranges Impatiens glandulifera (Himalayan balsam) On the move?

13 Rotala indica (Willd.) Koehne - a water plant closely associated with rice cultivation and a plant used for fish tanks growing "wild" in New Plymouth?

14 Illegally Imported Turbina corymbosa sold on TradeMe Identified using DNA techniques: well identified reference material was acquired from BRI. Both, the sample in question and the identified reference material had identical DNA.

15 Accidentally Imported Chloris barbata (swollen fingergrass) grown from seed which was in soil collected from shipping container imported from Tonga

16 Assessment of the presence of Alopecurus myosuroides (Blackgrass) in New Zealand Blackgrass in a Barley crop

21 or is it the similar looking but introduced and weedy Hypericum humifusum?

22 Abutilon grandifolium (Massey University, Palmerston North) A. grandiflorum is an occasional garden escape.

32 eflora

33 Weed science research is greatly enhanced when substantiated by voucher specimens available for study by contemporaries and scientists in the decades and centuries to come. Much of what we know about the distributions of plant species is based upon label data on voucher specimens in herbarium collections, and there is enormous potential for using herbarium specimens and associated data to elucidate much about distributions, patterns of dispersal, and origins and relationships of weeds. We encourage weed scientists to work more closely with herbarium botanists, to support herbarium collections, and to document their research by depositing properly prepared voucher specimens in publicly accessible herbaria.
