This account is part of an effort to make available a collection of about 16,000 images of botanical specimens relevant to botany in the Philippines. The images were mostly taken by the late Leonardo Co, a leading Filipino Botanist. Prior to his death, I studied under him briefly at the University of the Philippines- Diliman. Sir Leonard used these images when identifying new specimens and shared them widely. I am hoping to continue his mission of education and awareness by making them more accessible to students and researchers online. I am also working on a web application to facilitate searching the images, but due to my other commitments it will likely be a slow process. I hope you find these useful. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to email me.
