The genus Viburnum contains some 170 woody plant species in temperate and subtropical forests around the Northern Hemisphere and in Latin America and Southeast Asia. Over 70 Viburnum species are used in horticulture, and many are ecologically important. Building on years of prior research, and based directly upon herbarium specimens and new collections, the goal of this project is to resolve all remaining species-level taxonomic problems and to produce a comprehensive description of the entire group, with geographic range maps and richly-illustrated interactive identification keys that can be deployed on the web and in the field. All data will be internet-accessible and integrated into global biodiversity databases. This project will produce a global treatment of a widespread, taxonomically confusing, and horticulturally important plant lineage. In doing so, it will generate data and informatics tools of general value to the scientific community. This work will greatly increase the value of Viburnum as a model for addressing fundamental issues in evolutionary biology, ecology, and global change. The project will be transformative in modeling the use of knowledge of evolutionary relationships in producing a species-level taxonomic monograph. It will provide hands-on training in modern, collaborative, cyber-enabled systematic biology to students at all levels.

葡萄属属在北半球以及拉丁美洲和东南亚的温带和亚热带森林中包含约170种木本植物。 园艺中使用了超过70种繁荣物种，许多物种在生态上很重要。 基于多年的先前研究，并直接基于植物标本室的标本和新收藏，该项目的目标是解决所有剩余的物种级分类学问题，并对整个组进行全面描述，并具有地理范围图和丰富的互动互动识别键，这些密钥可以在网络和现场上部署。 所有数据都可以访问Internet，并集成到全球生物多样性数据库中。该项目将对广泛的，分类造成混乱和园艺重要的植物血统产生全球处理。 通过这样做，它将为科学界生成一般价值的数据和信息学工具。 这项工作将大大提高Viburnum作为解决进化生物学，生态学和全球变化的基本问题的模型的模型。 该项目将在建模在生产物种级分类学专着中使用进化关系知识的使用方面具有变革性。 它将为各个级别的学生提供现代，协作，网络系统的系统生物学的动手培训。
