The Herbarium Pacificum is the world's most important                      resource for botanical collections representing Hawaii and the                  Pacific, particularly Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia.  It                 is, without question, the best collection of the flora of the                   Hawaiian Islands.  This representation of the unique flora of the               Hawaiian Islands stands as the most central and vital resource                  for conservation and biodiversity studies in these islands.                          This project will provide support for the expansion of                     Herbarium Pacificum into an additional facility of approximately                1320 sq.ft.  That space will be equipped with a compactor system                and cases, and the entire algal, moss, fungal and lichen                        collections of Herbarium Pacificum, as well as the special                      collection of Pandanus (screw pine) that is now scattered in                    three separate locations, will be moved into the cases.  these                  changes will relieve present crowding of the collections of                     flowering plants and ferns in the main herbarium by expanding                   them some 33%.  Finally, the flowering plant, algal, Pandanus and               fungal collections will be brought into a fully curated                         condition.
