If you are new to this
page...
ChileFlora.com is your window to the world of the native Chilean
plants. It provides you with the opportunity to learn about the
Chilean plants, their nutritional and medicinal properties,
identify them, and to purchase seeds and seedlings. All that you
can get also en
Español
und
auf
deutsch.
Here you will find a short
introduction to the Chilean flora. Additionally, we present
several galleries of
images of the Chilean nature, in the belief that in order to
understand fully the world of the Chilean plants you have to get
a feeling for the environment in which they live. In the same
section you will soon find descriptions of the different
habitats in Chile. Finally, in the
links section you will find not only links to interesting
sites which deal with Chilean flora, but also a bibliography,
which we will be constantly expanding.
The heart of our page is a database
and on-line herbarium of live plants with the
descriptions, uses, growing tips, and photos of many native Chilean plants - currently we present
more than 1400 species
with over 14000 photos, and
soon we will make available much more from our internal data
base with over 24000 photos and 2000 species! This is a long-term
project and we hope eventually to cover most species of the
Chilean flora (about 5000 species). You can browse directly our
database by means of indexes
here. Plus, we
sell 440 species of
seeds and
seedlings of Chilean native plants.

We are looking for strategic partners...
Chileflora.com
is 100 % private project and it is not financed by any entity, Chilean or
foreign.
We are looking for strategic partners who may help us with
our work and make the dream of a complete on-line virtual herbarium come true
and develop other projects related to Chilean flora, both in the realm of
publication/web and more down-to-earth projects (in the very concrete sense):
formation of a botanical
garden.
Therefore we are looking for entities who may be interested
in developing projects of this nature together or sponsors who may provide
financing for these projects... |
