Euro+Med PlantBase ("the information resource for euro-mediterranean plant diversity") provides an on-line database and information system for the vascular plants of Europe and the Mediterranean region, against an up-to-date and critically evaluated consensus taxonomic core of the species concerned. After several years of planning, the project is now firmly underway. The first stage of the project (referred to as Phase One) has been financed for three years by the European Union under Framework V. This database is constantly expanded and improved. Already in 2009, EuroMed provides three of the largest families: Compositae (Asteraceae, sunflower family) Poaceae (Gramineae, grass family) Rosaceae (rose family); and the following smaller families: Alismataceae, Aponogetonaceae, Basellaceae, Butomaceae, Cabombaceae, Chenopodiaceae (only tribus Salicornieae), Corylaceae, Elatinaceae, Geraniaceae, Haloragaceae, Hippuridacae, Hydrocharitaceae Juncaginaceae Lemnaceae Lilaeaceae Myricaceae Najadaceae, Nelumbonaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Posidoniaceae, Potamogetonaceae, Proteaceae, Ruppiaceae, Scheuchzeriaceae, Sparganiaceae, Tetragoniaceae, Zannichelliaceae, Zosteraceae, Zygophyllaceae. Common names were not yet available in all languages. By April 2015 Euro+Med Plantbase provided access to 190 plant families, corresponding to ca. 95 % of the European flora of vascular plants. ...

Flora Europaea Data Base contains data on the nomenclature of the vascular plants of Europe. The data provided here have been extracted from the digital version of the Flora Europaea, the full version of which is held in the PANDORA taxonomic data base system at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

This Checklist gives information on the accepted scientific names and synonyms of selected plant families (including 150 Seed Plant families). The main focus of the checklist is to provide the state of current knowledge on a family rather than revising a family, a task that is being undertaken by the Species Plantarum programme. Included is also associated data like author, place of publication, full synonymy, geographical distribution and life form. The two main research elements are the name and the distribution, both of which can be used to create individually tailored checklists. Different families are in different stages of review as indicated in the family list. ... [Information of the supplier]
Med-Checklist is a synonymic catalogue of vascular plant taxa found growing in the wild in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. It has been designed as a synthetic guide to “translate” the botanical nomenclature used in any of them into what is believed to be the correct nomenclature under current taxonomic standards. It also gives territory-by-territory distributions for all listed taxa up to the aggregate level. This interactive digitised version of Med-Checklist corresponds to all available printed volumes (1, 3 & 4) of that work, which cover Pteridophyta, Gymnospermae & Dicotyledones (Acanthaceae-Cneoraceae, Convolvulaceae-Rhamnaceae). ...

The database currently comprises 185773 names of african plants with their nomenclatural statuts (as of April, 2010). Data capture, edition and broadcast are the product of a collaboration between the South African National Biodiversity Institute, the Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève, Tela Botanica and the Missouri Botanical Garden. Data are based on different sources for Tropical Africa (J.-P. Lebrun & A. L. Stork 1991-2010. Enumération des plantes à fleurs d'Afrique tropicale et Tropical African Flowering Plants: Ecology and Distribution, vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in prep. Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève), Southern Africa (G. Germisuizen & N.L. Meyer, eds, 2003. Plants of Southern Africa: an annotated checklist Pretoria), North Africa (Dobignard, A. & C. Chatelain 2010-2011. Synonymic and bibliographic index of North Africa plants. vol.1 Monocots, vol. 2 & 3 in prep.), and Madagascar (Catalogue of the Vascular Plants of Madagascar. Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis). Data are updated on a regular basis, following the literature. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The List of Vascular Plants of Germany contains the accepted names of taxa found in Germany, information on hybrids, status of occurrence as well as information on the emphases of scientific names. In addition, further data are being gradually incorporated: synonyms in floristic literature, distribution in the states, German names as well as citations for first descriptions. Version 1 was published on 4th February 2010. The list of the German flora is being updated. The data will remain unchanged until the publication of the next version (please see notes in the “Contributing to the Floristic List” section). ...
