The
Robert K. Godfrey Herbarium
Florida State University's Robert K. Godfrey Herbarium is a museum-quality collection of over 220,000 plant and microalgae specimens.
These document the distribution and natural variation of the 2,400 species of flowering plants, ferns, conifers, and cycads found in
northern Florida-one of North America's biodiversity hotspots-and the microalgae of Florida's Gulf
In August of 2003 the Robert K. Godfrey Herbarium set up a digital imaging system and SQL database. Currently 93,035 of our 220,000+ specimens have been entered into the herbarium's database. In late 2010, Tall Timbers Research Station's Herbarium began serving specimen data and images on this site as well. Currently, data and images for 10,505 of Tall Timbers Research Station's 10,000+ herbarium specimens are being served. Specimen images and data from both institution's can be searched by following the database links on our menu or by clicking here.

Godfrey Herbarium. The Tall Timbers Research Station gratefully acknowledges funding from the National Science Foundation (Award 0956343) to support the digitization of specimens in its herbarium. |
