| Abstract: | The Global Compositae Checklist is an integrated database of nomenclatural and taxonomic information for the second largest vascular plant family in the world. It is compiled from many contributed datasets. The database will be continually updated. Distribution data is included in TDWG Geographic standard format, the distribution data is derived from contributed data and is not presumed to be comprehensive. Additional information such as references will be added in the future. All species are marked as “provisionally accepted names” in Beta version. Dataset may contain some errors. |
