The “Virtual Carpological Herbarium” is an online collection of 3D models of fruits and seeds. The collection includes mostly native plant species in Hong Kong.

All the 3D models were reconstructed by photogrammetric method. The 3D models from PH056 onwards were carpological parts of newly collected and authenticated specimens, which documented their prime stage for further studies.

The 3D model can be moved and rotated freely by dragging on the interface. Most of the macroscopic details could be observed when the 3D model is magnified.
