Thus, with the availability of information in virtual format, it was necessary that some sectors that until recently could only be accessed in person, become virtual, allowing access by anyone, anywhere. This work seeks to understand the importance and relevance of herbaria collections available on online platforms, making it possible for several Brazilian or foreign researchers to access biodiversity data. The general objective was to produce a checklist with data from the collections of four Brazilian virtual herbaria of angiosperms collected in the Serra das Almas Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN), Crateús/CE, with 6,300 ha of area, predominantly of caatinga vegetation, in the south of Ceará/border with Piauí. The compilation of the records of the angiosperm collections was carried out through four online platforms (Jabot RB and Geral, SpeciesLinks and Reflora), with 7,525 records being compiled, in which 83 families, 316 genera and 623 species collected in the RPPN between the years of 1997 to 2018. A few identifications, with consultations with specialists and analysis of the digital images of herbarium specimens was done. Attention is drawn to the existence of only two collections related to the Cactaceae family, the high number of species, genera and families without identification in the records obtained, which suggests a specific need to send duplicates to specialists. Over time, there was a peak in collections in the period between 2000-2005. It is concluded that digital databases contribute significantly to floristic knowledge, even in areas previously studied floristically.Acesso AbertoCatálogoCaatingaFlorísticaHerbários virtuaismasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::RECURSOS FLORESTAIS E ENGENHARIA FLORESTAL
