Plant Type Materials from Kanagawa Prefecture (Japan) in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute (LE; Russia): Lycophytes, Ferns, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms (Monocots and some Dicots)

Abstract

In this study, we examined type specimens and related materials collected from Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, deposited in the herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LE). Many of these specimens were collected by the Russian botanist C. J. Maximowicz (1827–1891) and his assistant Tschonosuki Sukawa, and most have been described as new taxa by C. J. Maximowicz. Additional complementary data obtained in this investigation, such as collection date, locality, and collector, are registered in the database of Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History along with images of the specimens: 62 specimens from 29 taxa comprising lycophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms (monocots and some dicots). In this paper, we indicated the information of examined type materials, including the type materials of two taxa (Polygonatum giganteum A. Dietr. var. macranthum Maxim. and Juncus effusus L. var. decipiens Buchenau) that we have discovered.
