We provide a quantitative description of the French national herbarium vascular plants collection dataset. Held at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, Paris, it currently comprises records for 5,400,000 specimens, representing 90% of the estimated total of specimens. Ninety nine percent of the specimen entries are linked to one or more images and 16% have field-collecting information available. This major botanical collection represents the results of over three centuries of exploration and study. The sources of the collection are global, with a strong representation for France, including overseas territories, and former French colonies. The compilation of this dataset was made possible through numerous national and international projects, the most important of which was linked to the renovation of the herbarium building. The vascular plant collection is actively expanding today, hence the continuous growth exhibited by the dataset, which can be fully accessed through the GBIF portal or the MNHN database portal (available at: https://science.mnhn.fr/institution/mnhn/collection/p/item/search/form). This dataset is a major source of data for systematics, global plants macroecological studies or conservation assessments.
我们提供了一个关于法国国家植物标本馆维管植物收藏数据集的定量描述。该数据集保存在巴黎的法国国家自然历史博物馆，目前包含了 540 万份标本的记录，代表了估计的标本总数的 90%。99%的标本条目与一个或多个图像相关联，16%的标本具有野外采集信息。这个主要的植物学收藏代表了三个多世纪的探索和研究的结果。该收藏的来源遍布全球，其中法国包括海外领土和前法国殖民地的代表性很强。该数据集的编制得益于众多国家和国际项目，其中最重要的项目与植物标本馆大楼的翻新有关。维管植物收藏目前正在积极扩展，因此数据集不断增长，通过 GBIF 门户或 MNHN 数据库门户（可在 https://science.mnhn.fr/institution/mnhn/collection/p/item/search/form 上获得）可以完全访问该数据集。该数据集是系统学、全球植物宏观生态学研究或保护评估的主要数据来源。
