TAMU Herbarium data and botanical informatics systems developed and maintained by TAMU activities

Specimen data

Department of Biology Herbarium Specimen Data - TAMU specimen data by Family

Plant Images

Vascular Plant Image Library - initially developed to access local teaching slides (Drs. Manhart/Wilson - Biology 301), this system grew to hold locally-produced images and to index thousands more housed in other collections.  Locally-produced images are now hosted in the Digital Archives associated with the Sterling C. Evans Library at Texas A&M

General Floristics

The Vascular Flora of Madison County, Texas - checklist and overview produced by TAMU M.S. student, Amanda Neill (2000)

Digital Field Trips: 
Lick Creek Park, Flynn Bog System,
Navasota Outcrop Flora, Big Bend National Park, Winston Ranch, Serpentine Outcrop in Central Texas

Past Projects (links may no longer function)


Flowering Plant Gateway -
Prototype system, under development by TAMU Curator Hugh Wilson for use in Biology 301, that allowed reference to different systems of classifications and access, with selection of a given family, to web-based information relating to that family. (sequential update of link database)

Flowering Plant Gateway - Family Finder (a more direct entry to the links index)

Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Texas presentd an aligment derived from a Biota of North America Program listing for the State (1999).  NOTE:  A checklist for any given state can now be created on-the-fly via the USDA Plants Database.

Texas Endemics - a pilot system that allowed development of a web-based diversity mapping system - base data were not reliable

Kenneth Kent Mackenzie's North American Cariceae (vers. 1 and vers. 2 - frames) - a prototype system, developed by Dr. Wilson and TAMU undergraduates as a Botany (when TAMU had a Botany program) research enterprise, that explored the dynamics of programmed plant image manipulation and conversion of base botanical information from of hardcopy to digital. (1997). We hope to resurrect this very useful project or to roll the accumulated images into the Vascular Plant Image Library.
