A repository of over 8,800 plant images developed
and maintained by the TAMU-BWG, plus those made available by collaborators,
is available for public use through the Vascular
Plant Image Gallery. The system allows access by Family and
a 'string query' option that returns image sets that match a specific word
input by the user. Other image-based projects include floristic tours of
natural areas; Lick
Creek Park, the Flynn
Bog System, Moore's
Hill Outcrop, a Serpentine
Outcrop, and Big
Bend National Park. |

Collaboration with the Internet Communications Committee
of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists has produced an ASPT

As active members of the Flora
of Texas Consortium, elements of the TAMU-BWG collaborate to provide
a World Wide Web base for this organization. This has produced an FTC homepage,
pages of ancillary information, and work with pilot projects dealing with
WWW expression of FTC data. The latter include Texas
Sunflower and Texas
Grama Grass specimen data mapping, and the Texas
Endemics System. |
