Tropicos - Home
TROPICOS was originally created for internal research but has since been made available to the world’s scientific community. All of the nomenclatural, bibliographic, and specimen data accumulated in MBG’s electronic databases during the past 25 years are publicly available here. This system has over one million scientific names, 3.4 million specimen records, 111,000 bibliographic citations, and more than 70,000 images of living plants and specimens.

Please continue to use the feedback link ( Send feedback) at the bottom of the pages to submit suggestions, bug reports, and feature requests. We are not able to personally respond to all of the messages, but we do read them all, and incorporate as many as we can.
