Um website de lista de plantas: The Plant List

sexta-feira, dezembro 31, 2010

The Plant List is a working list of all known plant species. Version 1 aims to be comprehensive for species of Vascular plant (flowering plants, conifers, ferns and their allies) and of Bryophytes (mosses and liverworts).
Collaboration between the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Missouri Botanical Garden enabled the creation of The Plant List by combining multiple checklist data sets held by these institutions and other collaborators.



The Plant List provides the Accepted Latin name for most species, with links to all Synonyms by which that species has been known. It also includes Unresolved names for which the contributing data sources did not contain sufficient evidence to decide whether they were Accepted or Synonyms.

Summary Statistics


The Plant List includes 1,040,426 scientific plant names of species rank. Of these 298,900 are accepted species names.
The Plant List contains 620 plant families and 16,167 plant genera.
