标题:Plethora of plants – collections of the Botanical garden, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb (1): Temperate glasshouse exotics – historic overview
摘要:Due to the forthcoming obligation to thoroughly catalogue and officially register all living and non-living collections in the European Union, an inventory revision of the plant collections in Zagreb Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science (University of Zagreb, Croatia) has been initiated. The plant lists of the temperate (warm) greenhouse collections since the construction of the first, Exhibition Glasshouse (1891), until today (2015) have been studied. Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material have been sorted. Lists of species grown (or that presumably lived) in the warm greenhouse conditions during the last 120 years have been constructed to show that throughout that period at least 1000 plant taxa from 380 genera and 90 families inhabited the temperate collections of the Garden. Today, that collection holds 320 exotic taxa from 146 genera and 56 families.
