Botany-collection.bio.msu.ru: Information system on plant morphology and anatomy

Resumo

An open access information system (http://botany-collection.bio.msu.ru) consolidating digital data on palynological, carpological, and wood anatomy collections has been established at the Department of Higher Plants of the Faculty of Biology of Moscow State University. The database includes both digital images and short morphological descriptions of samples collected during the last 70 years. The system has a joint interactive catalogue of all samples included and allows a user to make a search by the names of species, genera, families, and life forms. In addition, each collection has a separate catalogue with various search parameters. The complete catalogues of all collections are also available in Excel file format.
