Dataset of traits extracted from 14,533 Natural History Museum herbarium images.
https://github.com/NaturalHistoryMuseum/plant-traits/tree/main/output/raw/cv-traits
For each herbarium sheet, measurements were taken of each leaf or leaflet using LeafMachine2. Measurements include:
- Length (i.e longest length of leaf/leaflet outline)
- Width
- Perimeter
- Area
