It created a database that allows access to all sorts of information about the world of Portuguese botany.
An interface search on the photographical, the geographical and morphological Portuguese flora is available to all who want information on specific plant species. The innovative project developed by the Portuguese society of botany, two years ago thanks to the volunteer work of its employees, primarily intended to provide all kinds of data to the general public in an accessible and intuitive manner. In total are available to Internet users around 1378 species that will be constantly updated, since the ultimate goal is to have a permanent database of all national botanical heritages, including the autonomous regions of Madeira and the Azores.
To be able to access the information you need, even not knowing the scientific name of the plant specimen you want to read about, just describe what you know about it or the habitat where it can be found. The idea is to allow people to access a data set that were previously scattered, without having to decipher a multitude of technical terms that discourage users. Although there is a deliberate simplification to maximize the search process, all existing knowledge on the site is accurate and scientifically based.
