The Digital Seed Atlas of the Netherlands, published in 2006, contains over 4,000 full colour digital photographs taken with a microscope and represents 1,828 taxa. The atlas comprises wild plants, adventitious plants and cultivated plants that have gone wild. The Digital Seed Atlas presents a unique picture of the variation and the characteristics of the seeds and fruits of the Dutch flora. This atlas has been published as a combination of a book and website. Because of the three indices to the book and the advanced search function of the website it is an indispensible tool to identify seeds and fruits. The book The second edition of 2012 is identical to the first edition of 2006 in both form and contents. It contains, however, a number of important corrections, and has better and more realistic colours. The list of corrections can be downloaded here. The book contains more than 4,000 full colour photographs of plant parts, as well as extensive indices. The introduction is in both English and Dutch. At the back of the book are indexes of both the Dutch and the scientific plant names. The website The website of the Seed Atlas is free for all. Please visit the website of the Digital Seed Atlas: www.seedatlas.nl. Readership The seed atlas will be of use to ecologists, plant taxonomists, palaeobotanists and amateur florists in the Netherlands as well as abroad.
