Botanical Exploration in Myanmar Project

The Botanical Exploration in Myanmar project was a collaborative effort involving participants from the U.S. National Herbarium, the Forest Department of Myanmar, and the University of Yangon.

In April 2003 the project published a checklist of the gymnosperms and angiosperms of Myanmar in the Smithsonian Contributions to Botany series. This checklist updates four previous editions dating back to 1912. A website presents only the 2003 version of the checklist. The database of names for the checklist is being kept up to date with new information and the current version is available online.
