Digital Herbarium

A digital herbarium is an online database that stores and displays detailed digital images and information about plant specimens collected from the wild. It serves as a virtual collection, allowing researchers, students, and enthusiasts access to plant data from anywhere, facilitating study and conservation without needing physical access to traditional herbarium sheets. These digital collections improve sharing of botanical information, support identification, and help monitor plant diversity and changes in ecosystems globally. By digitizing plant specimens, a digital herbarium enhances preservation, accessibility, and scientific research efficiency.
