NaviKey
NaviKey 2.0
NaviKey is now at version 2.0, and has undergone major changes. NaviKey is a Java applet which has been developed to provide a web interface for DELTA files. It has a graphical interface which allows users to select characteristics or enter observations in order to identify a specimen. Each key presents a list of "characters," each of which contain a set of defining "states." By making selections based on observations, a clear method is available for specimen identification.

The applet is downloadable and as an applet can be included in any web page. For details, check out the FAQ.


As of January, 2001, this application is no longer supported by Harvard University Herbaria (HUH). The developers are no longer associated with HUH and have not provided for its future. However, it remains available here for download.

Both the software and the data are at this point experimental, and should not be used for actual species identification.
