Virtual Herbarium

A Virtual Herbarium is an online digital collection that catalogs plant specimens from around the world. It allows researchers, students, and enthusiasts to access detailed images, identification data, and historical records of plants without needing physical access to traditional herbarium collections. By digitizing these specimens, it facilitates conservation, study, and comparison of plant diversity, making botanical information more accessible and preserving rare or fragile specimens. Essentially, it’s a digital library of plant information that supports botanical research and education globally.
