SMASCH PROJECT | ![]() |
The SMASCH project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), has completed the development of a database of text data and images of specimens that document the distribution and classification of the plants of California. The project began in 1992. Information from over 300,000 specimens has been entered.
The web interface to SMASCH data is being modified as review of images and other data is proceeding.
The present interface, which requires a recent version of the Netscape (>= 4.04) or Internet Explorer (>= 5.0) browsers, is available:
You can contact us about special requests and / or progress on the SMASCH redesign by sending e-mail to the SMASCH project.
