Our Acalypha specimen database currently includes over 40,000 records from more than 100 herbaria worldwide. Where available, images are provided. This information is continuously updated and expanded.
The specimens we study are primarily from tropical American and African countries. Species names (current identifications) are included only for collections we have examined; previous identifications, if any, can be found using the advanced search.
Georeferenced specimens are displayed on a map powered by Google Maps. Coordinates in square brackets indicate subsequent georeferencing.
Please note: for searches involving thousands of records, results may take time to load. Generating lists of more than 10,000 records is not currently possible.
