IrisBG's story began in 1996 when Øyvind Rustan (Compositae AS) developed the first version of our software in close collaboration with the Botanical Garden, University of Oslo in Norway.

Leveraging over 25 years of experience in botanical data management, IrisBG is trusted by leading botanical gardens, arboreta, and research institutions worldwide. Explore the IrisBG Community map. 

Our robust platform offers user-friendly recording and mapping capabilities for accession records using any device. Verify taxon names with trusted scientific sources and store images, video, and audio files. We also offer data sharing and integration support with other initiatives and software, such as ArcGIS, Darwin Core, and BGCI data tools.

IrisBG is recognized for our extensive network. This includes a dedicated support team, unlimited email assistance, software tutorials, and platforms for users around the globe to share insights and ideas: monthly IrisBG Coffee Chats & IrisBG user forum.
