Latest version published by Gouvernement du Québec on Jan 3, 2019
L'Herbier du Québec comprend environ 168 000 spécimens dont 145 000 plantes vasculaires, 22 000 bryophytes et lichens, 3 500 plantules de plantes vasculaires, une importante collection de graines et une petite collection d’algues (moins de 200 spécimens). L'Herbier du Québec abrite une collection représentative des zones de végétation tempérée, boréale et arctique du Québec et de l’est du Canada. Il comprend aussi une importante collection de mauvaises herbes et autres plantes d’intérêt agronomique. La quasi totalité des spécimens de plantes vasculaires du Québec est déjà informatisée. Cependant, la numérisation des spécimens débute à peine. Ce jeu de données comprend 93 578 spécimens de plantes vasculaires provenant principalement du Québec, mais aussi d’autres provinces canadiennes. L’Herbier du Québec héberge depuis 2013 l’herbier de l’Institut agricole de La Pocatière (QSA, environ 15 000 spécimens). Son informatisation est commencée. / The Herbier du Québec houses about 168 000 specimens among which 145 000 vascular plants, 22 000 bryophytes and lichens, 3 500 vascular plant seedlings, a large collection of seeds and a small number of algae (under 200 vouchers). The Herbier du Québec maintain a representative collection of plants from the temperate, boreal and arctic vegetation zones of Québec and Eastern Canada and also a large collection of weeds and other plants of agricultural interest. The bulk of the Québec vascular plants specimens is already computerized while digitization is in its early stage. This dataset includes 93 578 specimens of vascular plants mainly from Québec, but also from other canadian provinces. L’Herbier du Québec is now housing the herbarium of the Institut agricole de La Pocatière herbarium (QSA, about 15 000 specimens). Its computerization has begun.
