The Madagascar Conspectus Project

The Conspectus of the Vascular Plants of Madagascar Project is an international, multi-institutional effort involving the Missouri Botanical Garden (MO), the Laboratoire de Phanérogamie (P) of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, the Parc Botanique et Zoologique de Tsimbazaza (TAN), and the Centre National de la Recherche Appliquée au Devéloppement Rural (TEF), whose goal is to make information on all vascular plants occurring in Madagascar widely accessible.

The Madagascar Conspectus database is a subset of the larger TROPICOS database housed at the Missouri Botanical Garden, and currently exists in Madagascar in its PC-TROPICOS form. We plan to incorporate both in situ specimen-vouchered images and scanned illustrations, as well as utilize the geo-referenced specimen data for GIS analyses of distribution. The images will also be incorporated into an Interactive Identification System to the families and genera of woody Malagasy plants currently under development.

The following images are arranged on individual family "home pages", and are linked to their specimen and taxonomic name records in the database. At the name record, all specimens for a given taxon can be accessed and mapped.

Our hope is that the Madagascar Conspectus will both facilitate new and revised treatments for the ongoing Flore de Madagascar, as well as serve the needs of conservation organizations and the Malagasy people.
