The U.S. National Science Foundation and iDigBio are required to collect information on use of digitized collections-based specimen data. Please help us meet this requirement every time you use this search portal. Sustainability of the national digitization effort depends on evidence of data use! Maybe later.

Records from the Canadian Museum of Nature Herbarium (The National Herbarium of Canada), including algae (CANA), bryophytes (CANM), lichens (CANL) and vascular plants (CAN). NOTE that geographical co-ordinates in the records are in some cases transcribed from specimen labels, whereas in others they have been derived by CMN staff from secondary sources (georeferencing). No GBIF field is available to differentiate records of each type. If you require this information, please contact CMN staff.
