NDAP( National Digital Archives Project): Indigenous Plants is a project about Taiwanese botanical database. It consists of 1) label information of Taiwanese plant specimens housed at HAST (Herbarium, Institute of Botany, Academia Sinica, Taipei); 2) images of wild plant and specimens; 3) GIS-based plant distribution maps and 4) and taxonomic literature. Through this system, curatorial management of HAST herbarium is also effectively executed. Invaluable images of herbarium specimens as well as plant photographs taken in the wild are preserved permanently. This database serves as an effective tool for understanding our indigenous flora and their distribution. It also provides a useful reference to the utilization and conservation of the plant resources of Taiwan.
