Description

There are over 115,000 specimen items in the Herbarium of Academia Sinica, among which approximately 85,000 were gathered locally in Taiwan. The intent is to build a Chinese-English bilingual search system of native Taiwan plant specimens that comprises both texts and specimen images. This will be achieved through analyzing the contents of specimen labels and the field compatibility of internet database searching, consulting major international plant databases.
