- History In 1979 only 710 species were recorded.
- In the late 90’s the students and researchers demonstrated the need for an easy tool to identify plants.
- In 2003 MBG was invited to collaborate.
- Inventory all the plant species (2,000+) known from La Selva.-- never fully done before, and not a simple task.
- Create a web site and electronic tools for identification of the La Selva plant species -- for the first time. This includes four main components
- To complete La Selvas reference herbarium
- Access to the data available now, without waiting for every last part to be finalized.
- Direct download of information to handhelds, laptops, etc.
- Products Up to Date 228 new species added (1,834 in Aug. 2003 vs. 2,062 species May. 2008)
- 20,000+ images representing 1,638 species, equivalent to 79% of total species, 92% of all genera and 99% of all families.
- Around 2,100 new botanical collections, consisting of 4,800 specimens. (50% located at La Selva´s herbarium and the remaining were sent to other herbaria)
- Close to 2,500 digitalized herbarium specimens, representing 1,500 spp., also available in TROPICOS. With this the image gallery illustrates 1,900 spp.
DIGITAL FLORA
An International Team
History In 1979 only 710 species were recorded.Duke University (Wilbur & collaborators) started the plant inventory project in the late 70's, this initiative compiled a plant list of 1,678 species and 20,000 + specimens in 1988.In the late 90’s the students and researchers demonstrated the need for an easy tool to identify plants.In 1999 La Selva staff started the project.From 2000-2003 proposals were submitted with no success.In 2003 MBG was invited to collaborate.2004 NSF and CR-USA approved two complementary proposals; marking the official start of the Flora project in collaboration with MBG.
Objectives Inventory all the plant species (2,000+) known from La Selva.-- never fully done before, and not a simple task.Compile information, including phenology, photos and observations of living plants, and ecology -- many of the species are barely known to science.Create a web site and electronic tools for identification of the La Selva plant species -- for the first time. This includes four main components: - Species Web pages
- Interactive electronic keys
- Image gallery
- Search engine on images and taxonomy
To complete La Selva's reference herbarium
A Digital Flora Advantage: Frequent updates, to add changes and information. Access to the data available now, without waiting for every last part to be finalized.Includes digital tools, such as interactive keys, dynamic lists, search engines, images gallery. Direct download of information to handhelds, laptops, etc. Links to other web pages with additional information.
La Selva Plant Composition
228 new species added (1,834 in Aug. 2003 vs. 2,062 species May. 2008) 120 Family treatments (61 edited), + 15 family summaries of the 161 families: taxonomy, morphology and descriptions are illustrated with images. 20,000+ images representing 1,638 species, equivalent to 79% of total species, 92% of all genera and 99% of all families.A multiple access electronic key to families of angiosperms and gymnosperms of La Selva, besides more than 30 electronic dichotomous keys to genera.Around 2,100 new botanical collections, consisting of 4,800 specimens. (50% located at La Selva´s herbarium and the remaining were sent to other herbaria)23,500 records with data available in TROPICOS of the plant specimens collected in La Selva at previous years.Close to 2,500 digitalized herbarium specimens, representing ~1,500 spp., also available in TROPICOS. With this the image gallery illustrates ~ 1,900 spp.
