The checklist will include records of the many plant species to be found on the Peshawar University Campus. This campus is shared by several universities (e.g., Islamia College University, University of Peshawar, the Agriculture University) and the Pakistan Forest Institute. Moreover, because the area is surrounded by a wall and monitored gates, it is readily accessible to all students and faculty. In developing the checklist we have multiple goals, but the primary goal is to increase the educational value of the campus. As part of that effort, we shall use OpenHerbarium's abilities to add to the list of species present on the campus, link these names to herbarium specimens and add images of the living plants plus descriptions of the species involved to the network. In addition, the checklist will be used to teach students how to use and write dichotmous identification keys and how to use Openherbarium to assist in preparing high quality herbarium specimens.
