In the mean time, Te Papa&#039;s databased plant specimens are alternatively available via the Virtual Herbarium (http://www.virtualherbarium.org.nz) which collates the databased collections of New Zealand&#039;s herbaria.  It is also worth noting that Te Papa still has a LOT of databasing of plant and animal specimens to do.]]></description>
