Information from the Herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Garden is being entered into the w3TROPICOS database through a variety of collaborative floristic, monographic or conservation projects. Currently the database contains information on over 116 741 plant names, 1.7 million botanical specimens and 70 000 bibliographic entries relating to systematic botany.

The information stored in w3TROPICOS is concentrated in areas where the Garden has conducted joint research projects with host countries or currently maintains a staff presence for training, conservation or collaborative inventory/floristic projects. The groups covered in the database include angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns and bryophytes.
