Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The newly implemented curatorial type database system for the Flora of Veracruz project (Veracruz, Mexico) is described. The system consists of a main database containing over 80,000 entries from collections made in Veracruz, housed in several herbaria, and accessory bases containing a species checklist for Veracruz, standardized author abbreviations, and geographic localities in the state. The system permits on-line data entry or multiple access consultation, and is also used for the production of herbarium labels. Distribution maps are prepared automatically using the latitude and longitude provided by each record.
