Plants of Washington Image Collection
The WTU Herbarium at the University of Washington’s Burke Museum has created a website that features an image database of the plants of Washington state. WTU’s Plants of Washington Image Collection contains over 5700 photos of plants found in the state, organized by family, genus, scientific name, and common name.
Along with the photos, each species page displays distribution maps, descriptive information, and nomenclature and synonymy. Links to WTU herbarium’s specimens and images of the species in other databases are provided if available.
Website visitors can do an identification key search to match an unidentified plant's characteristics to specimens in the collection.
