澳大利亚乔治布朗达尔文植物园苏铁类植物资源收集和保护状况分析 　　摘 要：本文?Π拇罄?亚乔治布朗?达尔文植物园苏铁类植物资源的收集、保护状况等方面进行了调查研究，调查结果表明：由于植物园是坐落在野生苏铁的主要分布地之一，因此该植物园在收集和管理苏铁类植物资源方面具有优势，已经收集和种植了70多种苏铁科和泽米铁科苏铁类植物，以及超过600多个苏铁植物植株。该植物园苏铁园建立于15年以前，种植的主要是澳大利亚本土分布的野生苏铁类植物，同时也种植有少量来自中国和其他国家的苏铁类植物。在植物园科技人员等全体职员的努力下，该植物园已经成为澳大利亚珍稀苏铁类植物资源重要的栖息地和保护地。本文对于植物园在苏铁植物资源的采集、栽培和管理的技术特点及优点进行了研究和分析，同时提出了一些建议。本研究对各地植物园在珍稀植物资源的收集和迁地保护等方面具有理论意义和实践的参考价值。 　　The Analysis on the Situation of Resources Collection and Conservation of Cycads in George Brown Darwin 　　Botanic Gardens，Australia 　　Huang Yu-yuan1， Sharon Wilson2， Jane Hempel2 　　（1College of Life Sciences， Zhongkai University of Agriculture and Engineering， Guangzhou， 　　Guangdong 510225， China； 2George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens， NT 0820 Australia ） 　　Abstract： The situation on resources， collection and conservation of cycads in George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens was investigated and analysed. The Botanic Gardens are located in a major region where cycads are found in the wild； therefore， the gardens have an advantage in cycad husbandry. They have collected more than 70 species in Cycadaceae and Zamiaceae， comprising about 600 adult individuals. The cycad garden has developed about fifteen years ago， in which the main planting species of cycads are native to Australia， while other species came from China and other countries. Because of the whole staff’s efforts， the gardens have become an important place for rare cycad resources habitat and conservation in Australia. The paper summarizes and analyses the characteristics， merit of technique measures and some experiences on the collection and planting of cycads， and proposes some suggestions. This is a reference for gardens in respect to collecting and conserving rare plants. 　　1. Introduction 　　Cycads are most primitive seed plants in present time， are rare plant group， so they have important scientific value in the research on plant evolution， ecology and taxonomy； and have also the value in urban garden afforest and som
