Abstract

SummaryInteractive videodisc information systems are explored as a format for the publication of floras. Images (drawings, photographs, etc.) are very useful in the important task of plant identification. The enormous image storage space and the random access capacity of videodiscs coupled with the information management capacity of personal computers can be an effective and cost‐efficient tool for addressing the botanical information needs of botanists as well as interested non‐botanists. Especially such systems would be helpful in the informational tasks involved in preserving the threatened biodiversity of the world's plants.
