Numerous books and papers have been written about the life and work of the famous Leiden physician and botanist professor Herman Boerhaave (1668–1738). However, none of these publications mentions what has happened to his botanical collections. A set of loose herbarium sheets with labels written by Boerhaave is known to be present at Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden. Furthermore, two bound herbaria attributed to Boerhaave are known to exist. The first, a four‐volume herbarium makes part of the Sloane Herbarium (Natural History Museum, London). The second is a voluminous one‐volume herbal at Copenhagen (Natural History Museum Denmark). Another single‐volume herbarium, traditionally referred to as the “Herbarium of Boerhaave”, at Leiden (Naturalis) is discussed here as well. Are these true Boerhaave herbaria made by Boerhaave personally, or have these herbaria at least formed part of his private collection? Where could other herbaria of his be found, and what has happened to the herbaria that were auctioned together with his library after his death? These are the questions this paper will try to answer.

Herman Boerhaave：搜寻他的植物标本室收藏

关于著名莱顿医师和植物学家教授赫尔曼·博尔哈维（Herman Boerhaave，1668年至1738年）的生活和工作，已经写了许多书籍和论文。但是，这些出版物都没有提到他的植物收藏发生了什么。众所周知，一组带有Boerhaave标记的散装植物标本室床单出现在莱顿的Naturalis生物多样性中心。此外，已知存在两个归因于Boerhaave的结合的草本植物。第一个是四册植物标本室，是斯隆植物标本室（伦敦自然历史博物馆）的一部分。第二个是哥本哈根的大量自然草药（丹麦自然历史博物馆）。本文还讨论了位于莱顿（Naturalis）的另一种单标本植物标本室，通常称为“ Boerhaave植物标本馆”。这些真正的Boerhaave草herb是Boerhaave亲自制作的，还是这些草本植物至少构成了他私人收藏的一部分？在哪里可以找到他的其他草aria？去世后与他的图书馆一起拍卖的草herb发生了什么？这些是本文将尝试回答的问题。
