Facilities
Enabling research, conservation, and education with state-of-the-art infrastructure and curated plant collections.
Decoding plants
Taxonomy Lab
The Taxonomy Lab serves as the hub for systematic research, where scientists study plant morphology, anatomy, and classification. Equipped for microscopic and molecular analysis, the lab plays a key role in identifying, describing, and cataloging the vast plant biodiversity of the Western Ghats. Decoding plant identity through science and structure. It acts as the foundation for conservation efforts by enabling accurate documentation of species diversity.
Preserving plants
Herbarium
Our Herbarium houses an extensive collection of preserved plant specimens, carefully documented and indexed. It serves as a vital reference for taxonomists, researchers, and students, enabling comparative studies, species identification, and historical biodiversity analysis. Preserving plant diversity for generations to come
The curated specimens contribute to long-term ecological studies and help track changes in plant distribution over time.
