National Herbarium of the Netherlands, Leiden University Branch
The Siebold Herbarium is the earliest herbarium collection of this extent
from Japan. P.F. von Siebold (1796-1866) brought together c. 12,000 specimens
and also included many items from Japanese students and collaborators. Publication
on the Japanese flora at that time was impossible without consulting the Japanese
collections in Leiden, consequently this collection contains many type specimens.
These Japanese collections are still subject of ongoing research.
from a source of new species, it now has become important in the
study of the history of early Japanese botany.
