Contribute to the Seed Atlas

In the present Digital Seed Atlas we still miss the pictures of a few plant species. When you happen to have material (seeds/fruits) of these species we would appreciate it very much when you could send this to us. We will than take the photographs and thus update the Atlas by inserting pictures of the missing species.

A list of missing Dutch species can be viewed and printed here.
