This internet portal for the German flora contains information about observation and collection data. BioCASE enables the search for a specific taxon as well as expanded search requests, e.g. for habitats, collectors, or periods. With an expanded search function the synonyms in the standard flora lists are included in the search. The data are made available by various institutions such as herbaria or flora databases through the GBIF Network (Global Biodiversity Information Facility). ...

The inventory of herbaria of Russia was carried out in 1996-1997, however its results have remained unpublished. Now, with the support of Federal agency of science and innovations, the information system "Herbaria of Russia", being a part of information system on genetic resources of the Russian Federation is created. For a lot of collections the updated information has been received. ... [Information of the supplier]

About 90 specimens are found in the herbarium of the Botanical Museum that believed to have once been part of the herbarium of Linné the elder or annotated by him. Eighty-two of them have been published by Ilkka Kukkonen and Kalevi Viljamaa in 1973. Images of the published specimens including photographs of the handwritten information are given together with the published explanatory texts from Kukkonen & Viljamaa (1973). ...

The Herbarium Haussknecht (JE) is located at the Main University Building. It is the largest herbarium in Germany and houses, besides the plant specimen collections, a major botanical library and archives. The Herbarium Haussknecht houses ca. 3 million plant specimens of all systematic groups worldwide. Main focus of the collections is Thuringia (Germany), southwestern Asia, Cuba, and southeastern Europe. In the Herbarium Haussknecht herbarium material and other conserved plant material is stored, prepared, and loaned for taxonomic, plant geographical, and historical studies, students are trained, and scientific studies are conducted (flora of Thuringia, systematics of Baccharis (Asteraceae) and Festuca (Poaceae), flora of Cuba). ...

The BGBM offers online access to 84171 high resolution images from 218 countries of its herbarium holdings. Currently, as a rule only basic information is captured in textual form; i.e. the barcode, the scientific name under which the specimen is stored, the modern country of origin (where it can be easily deduced), and the original designation of the collection site. We are working on a procedure to allow remote annotation of the images. ... [Information of the supplier]
Johann Reinhold Forster (1729-1798) and his son Georg (1754-1794) were naturalists who accompanied James Cook on his second voyage around the world (1772-1775). In addition to animals and ethnological objects they collected a large herbarium. They were assisted by the Swedish botanist Anders Sparrmann, who joined them at the Cape of Good Hope. Already during the voyage descriptions and drawings were prepared and the new genera were published only a few months after their return in 'Characteres generum plantarum' (1775/76). Several sets of plants were given to botanists, either in gratitude for their help in identification, as a gift, or in exchange. The rest of Georg Forster's herbarium was sold in an auction in 1797/98 and bought by Aylmer Bourke Lambert, while William Roscoe aquired the herbarium of Johann Reinhold Forster in 1799 (plants now for the greater part at K, the remaining at LIV). Thus, plants of Forster can nowadays be found in at least 18 herbaria. The set at Göttingen seems to have been given to the university during a visit by Georg Forster in the year 1787 or at the beginning of 1788, after his return from Vilnius (Wilna) and before he went to Mayence (Mainz) as a librarian. The set was first included in the Academic Museum (Pütter mentions it as recently acquired in the second volume of his 'History of the University' 1788) and it later came to the Botanic Garden and was finally placed in the General Herbarium. The importance of the herbarium was recognized, and in 1968 F.-G. Schroeder separated it from the main herbarium; since then it is kept separately and has been studied by many visitors, notably by the late Ray Fosberg in 1986. ... [Information of the supplier]

Botany is the scientific study of plants and fungi. Scientists in the Department of Botany at The Field Museum are interested in learning why there are so many different plants and fungi in the world, how this diversity is distributed across the globe and how best to classify it, and what important roles these organisms play in the environment and in human cultures. ...

The Herbarium of Vascular Plants of the Komarov Botanical Institute (LE) is one of the largest collection in the World and main herbarium in Russia. The Herbarium numbers more than 6.000.000 specimens from over the World. Collections from LE are playing an important role as a basic source of data for investigating of plant resources, especially their taxonomy, distribution, phylogeny, morphology, molecular biology, conservation and economic importance. Virtual Guide to the main collections of the LE Herbarium has been created in 2005-2006 with kind support of the U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation (CRDF). ...
