Search All Catalogs The New York Botanical Garden catalogs specimens as part of specific projects. These are described in detail in the Summary of Databasing Projects page. In 2004 the Virtual Herbarium adopted a new software platform, KE Software's KE EMu. In addition to providing a more modern system for data entry and storage, the EMu system permits many improvements to our web presentation of data.
We are able to make a greater range of data available for searching, new records are posted instantly, users are able to download data, and georeferenced specimens can be mapped. To see a selection of records that demonstrate the features of the new interface, see our Specimen Showcase To search for specimens by plant name (division, family, genus, species, or subspecifies), author, collector, collector number, barcode number, or type status, use the Quick Search box below.
