We pursue this mission by providing innovative services that aid in the adoption of these technologies and that create lasting impact.

  3. About Global Plants • Global Plants is a comprehensive database of plant type specimens and complementary content • Contains the contributed collections of more than 270 herbaria from 70 countries • The largest of its kind—more than two million plant type specimens and other foundational materials • Built through the Global Plants Initiative (GPI), an international partnership wherein herbaria and JSTOR work together to create a shared database of information and images of plants worldwide

  4. About the Global Plants Initiative (GPI) • GPI represents a 10 year collaborative effort • Began with a small group of herbaria, then called the African Access Initiative, expanded to incorporate herbaria and plants from Latin America, and then became global in scale • Today, GPI partner organizations from Argentina to Zimbabwe capture data and use digital technologies to create high resolution images of type specimens from their collections Global Plants partners at 2013 Annual Meeting held by Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama City, Republic of Panama
