Site Contents and Usage

TENN herbarium databases are updated frequently for online use. Searching or browsing results from the Vascular Plants occurrence database are listed alphabetically in full scientific name by each taxon in either family name or genus name order. Common name(s) and synonym(s) if any will be listed beneath each scientific name in the name list. Each genus name heading also contains links to view photographs and/or distribution maps of the taxon. All species listed are also hyperlinked to give the same information mentioned above.

Photographs and their thumbnails are scanned and produced from the TENN herbarium’s archived slides, TENN herbarium’s mounted specimens, or from professional and amateur botanists who submit their photographs for inclusion on the website. Distribution maps are generated by hand with Photoshop and periodically updated.
