Abstract:

The International Organization for Plant Information (IOPI) aims to produce a database of all vascular plant species and other products such as a World Flora. The checklist currently holds over 200,000 names and implements the innovative potential taxon concept. Data for the cycads and 6 flowering plant families are included in the Annual Checklist. Cycad data come from KD Hill & DW Stevenson, 2004. Eucalypt data supplied from KD Hill & LC Stanberg, 2004. Juncaceae data have been compiled by J Kirschner & KL Wilson, 2004. Chrysobalanaceae data supplied from GT Prance & CA Sothers, 2005. The Rosaceae family dataset was added by R Pankhurst in 2005.
