Herbarium

A digitized collection of the herbarium specimens of Tanacetum cinerariifolium (Dalmatian pyrethrum) in Japan is now available. These specimens were identified in the archives of the Kyoto University Museum's Herbarium (Kyoto), the National Museum of Nature and Science, Department of Botany (Tsukuba), and the Herbarium of the University of Tokyo (TI). A transcription error was found in some records, where the place of origin, "Dalmatia," had been mistakenly written as "Palmatia." This has been corrected to ensure the accuracy of the historical data now presented. The collection offers an invaluable look into the botanical history of Dalmatian pyrethrum and its documentation in Japan.
