Scope

Diagnostic field photo set: leaves, inflorescences, stems, habitat, vouchers

The Botany portal documents plant identification, morphology, voucher specimens, ecology, phytochemistry, and field methods. Standards include diagnostic photography requirements and complete metadata protocols for scientific credibility.

Key areas: Species documentation, regional floras, herbarium vouchers, field photography standards, morphological terminology, and identification workflows.
