A growing dataset about medicinal plants. We plan to construct a multimodal dataset with images and text content extracted from

1. books that went out of copywrite and
2. diverse and high-quality video data taken via smart phone and various lenses with a DSLR camera (24mm Macro, 50mm, 100mm Macro and a 24-120mm Zoom lens). Parts of the iNaturalist and PlantNet300K datasets will be integrated as well to cover a wide spectrum of the kingdom Plantae.

The resulting dataset should be able to power a free visual search / retrieval application for smart phones that integrates vast amounts of detailed knowledge about medicinal plants and their lifecycle.
