| Welcome
                    to Visual Plantsa
                    scientific database for the visual determination of plants and,
                    hopefully, for aesthetic pleasure. With
                    this site we want to introduce the database and program Visual
                    Plants. We
                    explain the usefulness, purpose and benefits of the program. We
                    present information about related projects, where Visual
                    Plants is in use and a general overview about the upcoming
                    scientific discipline Biodiversity Informatics. Visual
                    Plants is a system for biodiversity information which is not
                    only based on images of herbarium specimen, but also on
                    images of "green plants". Visual Plants is available online. |
