Plucked, Dried, Pressed, and Imaged

Can’t tell Amyris barbata Lundell from Amyris filipes Lundell? The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) has a database for the serious botanist. Now in the process of cataloging and photographing its 75,000 or so specimens of vascular plants collected from around the world, the NYBG provides basic information about each species and, in some cases, high-resolution digital images of the specimen.
