This package is generated from a DELTA database (Dallwitz (1980) and Dallwitz, Paine and Zurcher (1993, 1995, 2000). It comprises an interactive identification and information retrieval system using the program Intkey (running under MS-Windows), descriptions (as WWW pages), illustrations, references, and other subsidiary material.
This paper is one of a series (Aiken et al. 1996, 1998) which present floristic data on the flora of the Arctic Archipelago in the form of a computerized morphological database and illustrations that may be used in interactive identification and in information retrieval.
The geographical scope of this study includes the islands of the Northwest territories east of 127°W and the islands of Nunavut north of 60°N in northern Hudson Bay (including Southampton Island, White and Caribou Islands, Coats Island, Bencas Island, Digges and Mansel islands) and Akpotok Island in Ungava Bay.
All names used in Porsild (1957), Polunin (1940, 1959), and Hultén (1968) are accounted for. The morphological data are based largely on specimens in the National Herbarium of Canada (CAN) and the Agriculture Canada Herbarium, Ottawa (DAO). Measurements are limited to the sizes of specimens found on the Arctic Archipelago. The maps are based on specimens in CAN, and DAO.
