Search Tips

Searches in the Virtual Herbarium are by default word-based. The fastest searches are made by using whole words as the criteria. Wildcard characters can be used to find partial words, but search times will be significantly longer.

Use an asterisk (*) as a substitute for any number of characters in a word.

Use an exclamation mark before a word to specifically exclude that word from the search. (Example: "Solanum" in the Genus field and "!americanum" in the Species field will return all records of Solanum except Solanum americanum.)

Use quotation marks to search for exact phrases. Words not enclosed by quotation marks will be used to return records with all of the words, but not necessarily in the order typed.

*The Scientific Name field searches the genus, species, infraspecies, and author abbreviations of a name.
Example 1: the search term "lanceolatum" finds specimens of Pithecellobium lanceolatum and Solaum lanceolatum.
Example 2: the term "Hieron." finds specimen records of numerous taxa described by Georg Hieronymus.

Author abbreviations can be found using Harvard University Herbaria's Index of Botanists.
