Plant Science

The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) is a free online resource, which provides access to a wealth of information about Australia’s biodiversity.
The type of information available includes species occurrence records (based on field observations, specimens from biological collections, and surveys), photographs, sound recordings, maps, molecular data, and links to additional literature.

APNI is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym.

The Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research (CANBR) includes the Australian National Herbarium. These are jointly managed by CSIRO and the Director of National Parks with strong links to the Australian National Botanic Gardens. The Herbarium, with over 1.2 million specimens, is responsible for the scientific integrity of the Gardens' plant labeling and manages the national plant name lists for Australia's botanical community.
