∮4 标本托孤

   以下英文记录了Alan Keith Graham托孤标本的一些情况和重要科学意义：

STRI receives Graham PalynologicalCollection （October06, 2008）

STRI received the best collection of Neotropical pollen in the world, the Graham Palynological Collection, thanks to the generosity of Alan Graham, professor emeritus at the Kent State University and currently curator at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.

This collection began as part of a palynology laboratory set up in the herbarium of the University of Texas in 1954, and expanded with original preparations, and exchanges with numerous laboratories throughout the world. It comprises over 25,000 pollen slides of modern taxa, thousands of pollen slides from Graham's work on the geological history of the forests of Central America,pollen residues and an impressive collection of literature. The original preparations can be referenced to a specific herbarium collection, allowing scientists to verify the identification of fossil material and specimens used in taxonomic studies.

STRI is honored to be hosting this collection, which is an invaluable resource to scientists. “Soon, the CTPA plans to have all components in digital format,to share it on the web with everyone who might be interested, worldwide” states STRI stratigrapher Carlos Jaramillo.
