The greenhouses were designed by Gustaf Nyström and built in 1889 and in 1896. They were thoroughly refurbished in 1996–1998. NEWS FROM THE FINNISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY The year 2016 saw a number of innovations in the Botany unit of the Finnish Museum of Natural History: bryophyte and lichen gardens, along with newly built sensory and rock gardens, were introduced. In addition, work related to international seed exchange has undergone a thorough renewal: all seed lots collected from Finland are stored long term in our seed bank. This allows us to serve our partner institutions with increasingly diverse and viable seed accessions. The year 2017 focuses on mass digitization of herbarium specimens, and systematic garden reorganized according to APG III classification will be inaugurated in June 2017. seminumsystem2017 seminumwild2017 ebgconsortiumindexseminum2013 DELECTUS SEMINUM List of seeds and spores available at the Botanic Gardens of the University of Helsinki in 2017 Edited by: Mari Miranto, Mikko Piirainen & Paula Havas-Matilainen Helsinki February 2017 Publisher: Botany Unit Finnish Museum of Natural History – LUOMUS University of Helsinki Address: Kumpula Botanic Garden P.O.Box 44 (Jyrängöntie 2) FI-00014 UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI FINLAND Email: [email protected] http://www.luomus.fi/english/botany/ seminumsystem2017 seminumwild2017 ebgconsortiumindexseminum2013 CONDITIONS FOR EXCHANGE OF PLANT MATERIAL The Botanic Gardens of the Botany Unit, Finnish Museum of Natural History, University of Helsinki (subsequently referred to as ‘the Garden’) recognizes the legal and moral obligations imposed on its work by the Nagoya Protocol, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), and other agreements and laws relating to the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity.
