The University of California-Berkeley Museum of Paleontology has recently launched this online database of the Daniel I. Axelrod and the Berkeley leaf collections, which contain over 2000 modern leaf specimens bleached and stained to make their venation patterns more visible. Data records for both collections are now online, and images (including a higher resolution mode) will eventually become available for each specimen beginning with those in the Axelrod collection. Using the database is somewhat tricky, but a detailed help page is provided.
