A digital platform to identify, explore and share plant images and biodiversity worldwide for botany lovers and plant enthusiasts.
eHerbarium leverages cutting-edge mobile, cloud, and AI technologies alongside traditional plant taxonomy and herbarium insights to revolutionize how we identify, explore, document, learn and share information about plants.
Within the last decade, there have been efforts to digitize the vast collection of herbarium. Curtesy of Kew’s Herbarium, Royal Botanical Garden (RBG), eHerbarium app makes a large collection of their herbarium data available on mobile devices, providing a dedicated system and a user-friendly interface. With the mobile app, the herbarium information is now easily accessible by the professional botanists, researchers, students as well as general public.
In addition to herbarium, there are abundant digital live plant images. These plant images, however, are not organized and/or classified in many situations. Moreover, there isn’t a dedicated, streamlined process for people to license these images.
With the image uploading, identifying, licensing, sharing or purchasing features of eHerbarium app, it makes it easy to contribute to herbarium collection and live plant images collection. It provides a platform for global community of plant enthusiasts, students, educators, botanists, scientists, photographers, science photographers, amateur botany enthusiasts, or gardeners around the world to contribute, share and potentially monetize their images.
