The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University organized a symposium titled “The Arnold Arboretum in China” at Harvard Center Shanghai on March 27, 2015. For over a century, researchers from the Arnold Arboretum have collaborated with Chinese botanists to collect, document, and study China’s rich floristic diversity. The symposium reflected on the history of the collection, its meaning and its continued importance today in the face of globalization, conservation issues, and climate change.
