Introduction

 

The organization of herbarium collections consists in arranging the specimens logically to find and reclassify them easily in the appropriate storage units. In the vascular plant collections, commonly used methods are systematic classification, alphabetical classification, or combinations of both. In systematically arranged herbaria, the taxa are grouped by affinities which facilitates identification work by comparison (Funk 2003) and allows reduction of specimen movements when adapting to systematic and nomenclatural changes.

The most common reason given for using an alphabetical arrangement is that the specimens are easier to file and locate (Barringer 1999; Gautier & Clerc 2017). This argument is valid for the arrangement of taxa below the rank of family in a general collection. However, at family rank, a systematic classification can be as easy to use as an alphabetical classification provided that families are associated with their classification numbers in alphabetical lists 1. These alphabetical lists have been established for the systems of A.-L. de Jussieu, A.-P. de Candolle, Bentham & Hooker, etc. that are still used in the management of historical herbaria whose original classification is voluntarily preserved.

Recent classification systems based on molecular phylogenies have developed, and herbaria are gradually adapting to these new and hopefully more stable systems for the arrangement of their general (i.e. non-historical) collections. In order to arrange usual collections systematically, phylogenetic trees were translated into linear sequences of families. Haston et al. (2007) devised a linear classification of the angiosperms according to APG II (2003) and allocated a family number to each family. Analogous linear classifications were provided for extant lycophytes and ferns (Christenhusz et al., 2011b; PPG I 2016), and for extant gymnosperms (Christenhusz et al., 2011a). The angiosperm classification was updated according to APG IV (2016). However, these linear classifications have not provided alphabetical lists which would locate reliably, a family in the herbarium. To fill this gap, this paper provides, for herbarium curators, the alphabetical lists of recognized families in pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms with the phylogenetic classification numbers allocated by the PPG I (2016), Christenhusz et al. (2011a), and the APG IV (2016) respectively.

Conclusion

 

The problem with herbarium arrangements is that they do not last; no sooner a classification is established than it is already obsolete. Hopefully next linear classifications and alphabetical lists will be published simultaneously to facilitate their application in herbaria.
