New York Botanical Garden North American Bryophytes Catalog

NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN CATALOG OF NORTH AMERICAN BRYOPHYTES


The New York Botanical Garden is in the process of cataloging its approximately
200,000 specimens of bryophytes from North America (north of Mexico).  We
intend to make these records available family by family, as cataloging is
completed.  Currently, a single family of hepatics is available through the
Biodiversity and Biological Collections Gopher or WWW site at Cornell
University:

        Lejeuneaceae  (approx. 1500 records)

Basic information from all specimens in this family has been captured in the
database.  Searches can be made on any word in the file.

     The URLs for the catalog are:

          gopher://muse.bio.cornell.edu
          http://muse.bio.cornell.edu

Look for the Biodiversity and Biological Collections Gopher at this site, then
for the New York Botanical Garden.  Also available is the New York Botanical
Garden Type Specimen Catalog (vascular plants).
