Centuries-old Plant Images posted Online

Botanists anywhere in the world can gain a more complete picture of the ecological history of the Carolinas and Georgia thanks to a project undertaken by a team of Clemson University and Furman University researchers. The project called Botanica Caroliniana makes original plant specimens collected in the Carolinas centuries ago by seminal naturalists available through an online database of high-resolution images. Before now, the only way to study the specimens was to travel to London.
