- Abstract
Asplenium Genus is present inside Alexandru Beldie Herbarium from „Marin Drăcea" National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry. This fact is consolidated by the presence of 92 vouchers containing plants of this genus, as well as information about them. The data refers to their harvesting location which covers almost the entire country and important names of the specialists who contributed to the development of the collection by gathering or identifying Asplenium plants. The present paper organizes and presents the Asplenium species present in the herbarium, reaching a total number of 16 species and 88 samples based on the year and place of their harvest, as well as the specialist who collected the plant. Additional criteria are also followed, such as: drawer number, voucher number, botanical collection, species name, date of collection, place of collection, the specialist who collected and / or determined the species and the degree of conservation. This last criterion was placed on a scale from 1 to 4 with 1 meaning a very good state of preservation while 4 represents a very poor state of preservation. In addition, the most important Asplenium species from the herbarium are also described from the point of view of their abundance in the collection. The paper starts with a short description of the herbarium, followed by the presentation of the studied material (92 vouchers that contain 16 Asplenium species). This stage details also the materials and methods used for elaborating the paper, organizing the plants and describing the most important ones. The herbarium hosts a sample of a rare species mentioned in the Red Book of superior Romanian plants (Asplenium lepidum Presl.). Alternatively, the collection can take pride in old Asplenium plants with an historical value that were collected 180 years ago (Asplenium trichomanes L, 1842). In addition, the paper graphically represents the periods in which the plants were harvested, as well as a map with the harvesting places on the Romanian territory. The conclusions present important aspects regarding the species and samples of Asplenium present in this herbarium.
