REFLORA – Plants of Brazil: historical recovery and virtual herbarium for the knowledge and conservation of Brazilian Flora. Objective – Rescue and provide to Brazil and to the world images and information of Brazilian Flora samples collected till XVIII, XIX, and XX centuries by foreign missions, held in K and P herbaria.

Exsiccate of Hancornia speciosa collected by Ducke 1938 in Amazonas, Brazil. Reflora Program - CNPq

Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden is gathering the images of the materials already studied by the specialists, building up a database with exsiccatae information, and making this data available (www.herbariovirtualreflora.jbrj.gov.br).

24 projects approved in total, 4 from São Paulo state with Biota/FAPESP support.

Accepted names Synonyms Perspectives

• During the Reflora meeting in the Latin American Botanical Congress (Salvador, 2014) we proposed to continue and broaden the program, including other taxonomic groups and herbaria (BR, G, M); • Increase the collection effort in less explored areas, such as the Amazonian region; • Training new taxonomists; • The Reflora program will help to improve the data of the Brazilian plants for The World Flora Online Project; • This goal must be achieved until 2020 as part of Global Strategy for Conservation.
