Description
Specimens collected from the Stormberg area will be digitized and mobilise into a virtual herbarium for the southern Escarpment (complete with images of the specimens, c.1,000 field photographs, and digital copies of the 26 field collecting-books) using the Botanical Research and Herbarium Management System (BRAHMS) platform
Data Records
