The carpological collection is a part of an herbarium, and it mainly consists of the fruits and seeds of plants that cannot be fixed onto a standard herbarium sheet. The collection is significant in plant species authentication, as these reproductive parts are unique in every species. 3D model reconstruction from a number of images could reflect the realistic morphology and genuine color of the fruits and seeds. The newly established database “Virtual Carpological Herbarium of Fruits and Seeds” was launched in 2022, and now it archives more than 500 3D models of local species. All the 3D models are presented with user-friendly interfaces for plant authentication, education and conservation. The philosophy and application of the database will be discussed in the talk.
