The UF Herbarium's collection databases and image galleries provide interactive, virtual access to our fragile collections; extending them to a global audience. The specimen based images are associated with label information in the collection catalog with data on habitat, flowering and fruiting period, frequency, and distribution. A common name search tool provides a walkway to the scientific names used in the catalogs.

Type Specimen Catalog
This catalog includes specimen label data and images of our vascular plant, bryophyte and lichen type specimens. Literature citations and special notes relevant to the included specimens are available.
Digital Images
Our image galleries are being developed with a thematic focus. Digital image sets include potentially invasive, insectivorous, poisonous and endangered plants of Florida, type specimens, orchids and vouchers for the Floristic Inventory of Kanapaha Botanical Gardens.
Herbarium Library
The herbarium library catalog is a searchable database of a portion of the literature holdings in the herbarium's extensive reference library. The library includes literature relevant to the naming and classification of vascular plants (plant taxonomy and nomenclature) including floras, monographs, journals, microfiche, reprints and maps.
