What's new?
All Kansas vascular plant specimens have been databased! Herbarium databasing is ongoing for specimens from outside of Kansas and new Kansas material (current records > 80,000). Please link to the specimen database page and check back often for updates. We have also developed a mapping application for Kansas county distribution data. We welcome comments!
