This project will produce a searchable on-line compendium of information about the 2000+ species of the Leguminosae (Bean and Pea family) that were the subject of a half-century of study by Rupert C. Barneby, world-renowned expert on legumes. It will comprise a digital monograph of identification keys, species descriptions, and illustrations excerpted from Barneby's scholarly publications and a database of plant specimens upon which the publications were based. Information in the Catalogue will be particularly valuable because it derives from Barneby's scholarly studies and from accurately identified specimens.Leguminosae are ubiquitous and the second most economically significant plant family. Many of the species studied by Barneby are abundant in the United States and in Latin America. Many are of conservation or regulatory concern because they are rare and endangered, toxic to livestock, or aggressive weeds. Some have commercial uses in medicine or soil stabilization or as forage, ornamentals, or timber. The Catalogue will be useful in scientific studies of species' evolutionary relationships and geographic distributions, the spread of exotic species, species' responses to environmental changes, conservation of rare or endangered species, and management of toxic species. In addition, however, it will provide a useful identification tool for conservationists, policy makers, resource managers, regulators, educators, students, and the interested public who wish to identify specimens of "Barneby's" legumes. Furthermore, the Catalogue will contribute data to initiatives to compile and share biodiversity information (e.g., National Digital Biological Collections Resource and Global Biodiversity Information Facility).The images and digitized data from this project will be integrated into the online national resource as outlined in the community strategic plan available at http://digbiocol.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/digistratplanfinaldraft.pdf.

这个项目将产生一个可搜索的关于豆类（豆类和豌豆家族）的2000多个物种的在线信息纲要，这些物种是鲁珀特C。世界著名的豆类专家巴内比。它将包括从Barneby的学术出版物中摘录的识别键，物种描述和插图的数字专著以及出版物所依据的植物标本数据库。目录中的信息将是特别有价值的，因为它来自巴内比的学术研究和准确识别的标本。豆科植物是普遍存在的，是第二个最具经济意义的植物科。巴内比研究的许多物种在美国和拉丁美洲都很丰富。许多是保护或监管的关注，因为他们是稀有和濒危，有毒的牲畜，或侵略性杂草。有些在医药、土壤稳定、饲料、植物或木材方面有商业用途。该目录将有助于物种进化关系和地理分布、外来物种的传播、物种对环境变化的反应、珍稀濒危物种的保护和有毒物种的管理等科学研究。此外，然而，它将提供一个有用的识别工具，为保护主义者，政策制定者，资源管理者，监管机构，教育工作者，学生和感兴趣的公众谁希望识别“巴内比”豆科植物的标本。此外，该目录将为汇编和分享生物多样性信息的举措提供数据（例如，国家数字生物收藏资源和全球生物多样性信息设施）。该项目的图像和数字化数据将被纳入在线国家资源，如社区战略计划所述，可在http://digbiocol.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/digistratplanfinaldraft.pdf上查阅。
