Search of regions and points: collections of landscape, plant and lichen photos from various locations
About the project"Plantarium" is an atlas of plant and lichen species and an illustrated guide to plant identification intended for a wide range of users — both for amateurs and professionals — botanists, geobotanists and ecologists. The main purpose of the website is helping to identify wild plants and lichens from the territory of the former USSR. The aim of the project is to collect photographs and to include in the key as many species as possible not only from all regions of Russia, but also from neighboring countries. The guide to plant identification is designed for users with different levels of botanical knowledge. In contrast to "paper" manuals and their digital clones, the plant identification system of "Plantarium" does not use a dichotomous key. Instead, you can specify any number of key characteristics and the result will be a range of taxa that meet the query conditions. With the ability to find a species by name, "Plantarium" is a practical illustrated atlas of plants and lichens. The search for information can be carried out by both the Latin (scientific), and by the Russian names. "Plantarium" provides project participants with the ability to create arbitrary collections of images, which can include any photos of plants and lichens published on the website. These collections can be used for educational and other non-commercial purposes in the form of presentations or slideshows. The project website is supported by the TetraSoft company.DataPlantarium is a non-commercial project open to free additions and corrections. The project participants gradually process information about the taxa, replenishing the lists of Russian names and sets of key traits for plant identification guide, as well as collections of photographs that allow visually checking the identification of plants. We welcome any help from botanists and photographers, professionals and amateurs. Information on taxaThe core of the project is a database of taxa Latin names and synonyms. Lists of taxa are based on
The project does not set itself the task of giving full botanical descriptions of all species, because many of them can be found on the Internet. We find and publish botanical descriptions of taxa only when they are not available on other Russian-language web resources; otherwise we provide links to such pages. Additionally we collect links to sources on the Internet that contain significant and useful information about the species such as data on medical, gastronomic, technical and other properties of plants. In addition to photographs, we try to indicate the characteristic features of plants and lichens that are suitable for identification in the field. If you are good with plants or lichens, you can help the project create such descriptions. Plants and lichensInformation about plants and lichens is presented in the following sections of the site:
All photos — the collection of images of plants and lichens, published by the project participants.
Partially identified — photos of plants and lichens, identified only to a genus, family or another taxon of superspecies rank.
Unidentified specimens — photographs of individuals whose taxonomic affiliation was not determined.
Gallery of taxa — illustrated with photos hierarchical lists of divisions, classes, orders, families, genera, species and subspecies taxa.
Directory of taxa — hierarchical list of vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, anthocerotes and lichens found in Russia and neighboring states.
Red Lists — lists of vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, anthocerotes and lichens protected in various regions.
Environment"Plantarium" also contains images of landscapes and habitats from the locations where photos of plants and lichens were taken. All landscape photos refer to geographic points added by project participants. Thanks to the system of description of regional location, geographic points are automatically aggregated by administrative and physiographic regions. Automatic grouping capabilities are extended with geographic sets, which are arbitrary groups of geographic points and regions created by users. For any geographic point, region, or set, you can view the gallery of landscapes and habitatis, photos of plants and lichens, and lists of photographed taxa. You can start browsing from these pages:
Landscapes and habitats — gallery of landscape photos.
Geographic points — list of geographic points added by project participants.
Administrative regions — navigator for browsing data by countries, territories, regions.
Physiographic regions — navigator for browsing data on natural areas.
Geographic sets — list of custom groups of geographic points and regions.
The map below shows only a hundred newly created geographic points; in fact, there are many more. ParticipationWe can help each other. Each photo you publish is a contribution to the general treasury of knowledge that will allow someone to identify the plant or lichen that has been found. Likewise, if you come across an unknown species, lovers of plants and mushrooms from other regions of Russia and neighboring countries will help you with their photos and descriptions. If you
