Botany: Images

This is a database of the more than 3000 botanical illustrations curated by the department's scientific illustrator, Alice Tangerini.

The Australian National Botanic Gardens, jointly with the Australian National Herbarium, manages a large collection of photographs and other illustrations of its activities and Australian botany. The bulk of the collection consists of identified Australian plant species, but there is also a large number of environmental and conservation images.

Included are animations of Aegle marmelos, Sabal, Micromelum, Swinglea glutinosa, and Acrostichum fern.

The Plant Anatomy Digital Archive features over 1,700 images from more than 250 species of plants collected from all over the world. The images are digitized micrographs of parts of plants that were sectioned, stained, and permanently mounted to a glass slide. Although the earliest specimen was collected in 1769 (Limonia acidissima L., accession number SV221), the majority were collected in the early 20th century. The Digital Archive shows a small selection of slides present in the Swingle Reference Collection, which consists of 3,200 specimens on over 26,000 glass microscope slides, from 575 plant species.

This site includes image collections for general botany, trees, plant diversity, fungi, and vegetation of Wisconsin.
