This site contains links to several searchable databases maintained by the Marion Ownbey Herbarium. Each database contains information from our specimens' labels, including collector, locality, date, identification, and annotations.


Please select a database to search:

  • Bryophytes - Database complete; approx. 10000 records; includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
  • Lichens - Database complete; approx. 2100 records.
  • Type specimens - Almost all of our more than 1300 type specimens have been entered; proofing is in progress.
  • Selected groups from our main collection:
    • Saxifragaceae - Database nearly complete; over 5150 records entered; some entry and proofing remains. Please note that many workers recognize Micranthesas a monophyletic genus separate from Saxifraga. We have adopted this circumscription, although not all appropriate combinations have yet been published.

    • Allium - Specimen entry is nearly complete; proofing is in progress; approx. 4000 records.

Please note:
Some of the databases are incomplete, and not all of them have been proofread. Please e-mail or call (509-335-3250) if you would like more complete information, wish to double-check data, or would like access to databases that are "in progress".
