French Guianan e-Flora Project : towards an electronic flora of French Guiana

The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) has recently published on its website a compilation of the different websites on flora from neotropical regions where the botanist Scott Mori (New York Botanical Garden), has contributed.
One of the websites describes the French Guianan e-Flora Project. Within this project, scientists from the New York Botanical Garden and French scientists, some of them who are members of the CEBA, are working together to produce a data base driven, specimen based, illustrated checklist of the flowering plants of the Nouragues Nature Reserve.
This will be the first step in a French coordinated effort to produce an electronic flora of French Guiana.
The leaders of the project are Scott A. Mori and Melissa Tulig of the New York Botanical Garden, Jean-Jacques de Granville, Sophie Gonzalez (member of the CEBA), Véronique Guérin, and Hervé Chevillotte of the Herbier de Guyane (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement – IRD) and Jérôme Chave, scientific director of the CEBA (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique – CNRS).
