Abstract:

In order to understand the history of plant specimen collection in the Middle East Railway area in the 20th Century, the collection history of plant specimens from Heilongjiang Provincial Museum was systematically sorted out through the digital informationization, and a large number of relevant documents were consulted and analyzed. A total of 3 659 numbered plant specimens collected along the Middle Eastern Railway were sorted out, including 1 500 species of plants in 137 families and 578 genera, 20 wild plants under national key protection. The main collectors include T. P. Gordeev, V. N. Jernakov, V. S. Pokrvsky, I. V. Kozlov from the former Soviet Union, and Liu De from China. The collection covered five provinces, most of which were collected from Heilongjiang Province and the eastern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and a few were collected from Liaoning, Jilin and Hebei Province, 77.23% of the specimens were collected before 1949. Most families collected were Asteraceae, Poaceae and Rosaceae, accounted for 28.50% of the total plant specimens, and ArtemisiaSalix, and Carex, accounted for 7.29% of the total plant specimens. Based the information, the current collated information might help to fill in the gaps in the history of plant collection in northeast China and provided reliable reference data for future research on plant classification, flora and phytogeography in northeast China and Inner Mongolia.
