Australian National Botanic Gardens

The Gardens label system

Aluminium tags - computer generated embossed tags, fixed to the plant or to a stake at its base, recording plant name and propagation number associated with stocktake. The dimentions of the tags are 115mm x 22mm, about 0.5mm thick.

Stake labels - the oldest labeling system in the Gardens, showing the name of the plant, very simple, but must be read vertically.
Dimensions 400mm x 25mm, 3mm thick.

Rockery labels - designed for smaller plants in garden beds where a sea of stake labels would look out of place. They include the plant name and family.
Dimensions 100mm x 65mm, 3mm thick.

Large labels - larger, with space for plant name, common name, family and a distribution map.
Dimensions 300mm x 150mm, 3mm thick.
