Botanic Gardens Conservation International's Gardensearch and Plantsearch Databases: the World's Botanic Gardens and Living Collections at Your Fingertips

摘要

Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) maintains two free, online databases to support plant conservation in botanic gardens: GardenSearch and PlantSearch. GardenSearch is an on-line directory of the world's botanic gardens and related institutions while PlantSearch provides an account of the plant species held by these institutions. Information included in these databases is provided by each institution which is responsible for regularly updating its own record, using an on-line log-in facility.
