Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A xylotheque is a wood collection. But just as a library is something more than merely a collection of books, a xylotheque is something more than just collection of wood. Almost all rather developed countries with worries about their flora have at least one xylotheque with their flora and one with flora from other places in the world. The xylotheque with a largest number of samples is the Samuel James Record Collection of the Forestry School of Yale University in New Haven Connecticut which houses 60,000 samples. The second largest xylotheque belongs to the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium. As of September 2004, it had 57,165 samples.
