VASCAN is the Database of Vascular Plants of Canada. It is a comprehensive list of all vascular plants reported in Canada, Greenland (Denmark) and Saint Pierre and Miquelon (France). VASCAN is literature-based, though recent additions are sometimes specimen-based. For every species, subspecies and variety in VASCAN we provide the accepted scientific name (Latin), the accepted French and English vernacular name, and their synonyms/alternatives in Canada. We indicate the distribution status (native, introduced, etc.) of the plant for each province or territory, and the habit (tree, shrub, herb or vine) of the plant in Canada. For reported hybrids (nothotaxa or hybrid formulas), we also provide the hybrid parents*, except for introduced hybrids. We refer to a source for all name, classification and distribution information. ... [Information of the supplier]
The flora of Poland in the 20th century has been listed in full in only three publications. None of these is adequate as a species checklist for the present territory of Poland. The nomenclature used in these works has also lost much of its currency. The present checklist covers the whole of the vascular flora of Poland. It includes all native species and established alien species, as well as ephemerophytes (mainly according to ROSTAŃSKI and SOWA 1986–1987) and species often cultivated in Poland. Not included were sporadic fugitives from cultivated areas. The alphabetical list of taxa includes about 6,000 Latin names and over 4,000 Polish names of all (about 2,750) species of vascular plants occurring in our country. Apart from currently binding Polish and Latin names, the most important synonyms in both languages are also included. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
VegBank is the vegetation plot database of the Ecological Society of America's Panel on Vegetation Classification. VegBank consists of three linked databases that contain (1) the actual plot records, (2) vegetation types recognized in the U.S. National Vegetation Classification and other vegetation types submitted by users, and (3) all plant taxa recognized by ITIS/USDA as well as all other plant taxa recorded in plot records. Vegetation records, community types and plant taxa may be submitted to VegBank and may be subsequently searched, viewed, annotated, revised, interpreted, downloaded, and cited. ...

With more than 2.5 million vegetation plots Germany holds probably the biggest treasure of this im-portant biodiversity information. Unfortunately, visibility and accessibility of this heritage remain far behind the technical possibilities and actual international standards. Modernization and development of the national vegetation database vegetweb is a priority which is tackled by a joint project of the biggest database maintainers in Germany. You can access a prototype of the platform at http://www.vegetweb.de. The platform for the disclose and distribution of vegetation data will reach its full operational capacity by the end of 2016.

VegetWeb is a phytosociological database, in which vegetation records can be searched online, displayed and downloaded for further handling. The development of VegetWeb is closely linked with the vegetation databases working group, which has been devoted, since 2002, to the collection, distribution and use of phytosociological data in Germany and the adjoining countries. Vegetation records have been collected worldwide for ca. 100 years using unified methods: on a test plot on the ground all visible plant species are recorded together with their cover-abundance values. The head data contain facts about the position, vegetation structure and location. Records are compared, analysed, and presented in vegetation tables (cross matrices of species x record). They form the foundation data for the definition and the boundaries of plant communities and are simultaneously condensed floral observation data. In Central Europe public archiving (in specialist journals) and the mutual use of vegetation records has a long tradition. In a phytosociological data base the records are digital and can be searched with great efficiency, filtered and linked to other databases – in the case of VegetWeb, online via the internet. The basic stock of VegWeb consists of 2353 records collected by the Federal Department for Nature Conservation from acid-soil beech woods (Luzulo-Fagion), in area terms the most important vegetation species in Germany, whose plant species diversity was thereby made available through detailed analysis. In 2003 the importation of the database BERGWALD added 4934 records from the Bavarian Alps which enabled the evaluation of the forest vegetation of an especially species rich region The architecture of VegetWeb was developed on Planto, taking into account the newest research findings from MoreTax and VegBank. This allows one to deal with the names of plant species in the sense of conceptual taxonomy. Since the species names used in the original records (e.g. Luzula albida) are stored in exactly the same way as their interpretations (e.g. Luzula albida » Luzula luzuloides), VegetWeb unites, while querying, the species taxonomy of all records encountered in the references of the German standard list of ferns and vascular plants by WISSKIRCHEN & HAEUPLER (1998). Thus, the usual, extremely time consuming, harmonising of the taxonomy in the records obtained by associations from various sources is automated. However, the original names and interpretations are in the database and can be accessed for every record in the form of an observation report. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
Der im Jahre 2003 als Arbeitskreis und am 8. Dezember 2007 als Verein (Satzung, Vorstand) in Bayreuth gegründete ‚Verein Flora Nordostbayern' e.V. hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, eine gründliche Erforschung und Kartierung der Pflanzenvorkommen im nordostbayerischen Raum durchzuführen. Es handelt sich dabei um das Gebiet, das westlich bis an die Ostgrenze der Regnitz- bzw. Unterfrankenkartierung, nach Osten an die tschechische Grenze und nach Norden an Thüringen und Sachsen grenzt. Südlich reicht das Kartiergebiet bis zu einer Linie Sulzbach-Rosenberg - Pfreimd - Schönberg. Übersichtskarte Geplant ist die Herausgabe einer kritischen, modernen Gebietsflora. Der Verein setzt sich zusammen aus etwa 50 an der Botanik interessierten Personen, deren gemeinsames Bestreben ist, die Kenntnis über die Pflanzenwelt des nordostbayerischen Raumes im gegenseitigen Austausch, durch wissenschaftliche Vorträge und Exkursionen zu vertiefen. Interessenten sind jederzeit herzlich willkommen! ... [Information des Anbieters]
Die Webpräsenz dieser geobotanischen Vereinigung für das Einzugsgebiet der Regnitz, eines Nebenflusses des Mains in Bayern, bietet knappe Information, überwiegend zu aktuellen Themen (Rundschreiben, Exkursionsprogramm). Eine Reihe floristisch interessanter Gebiete im Regnitzgebiet bzw. in Franken wird in herunterladbaren Exkursionführern dargestellt. ... [Redaktion vifabio]
Zielsetzung des Vereines zur Erforschung der Flora von Österreich ist die Förderung der Erforschung der heimischen Flora und der Arbeiten an einer modernen und neuesten Erkenntnissen entsprechenden kritischen Flora. Die "Flora von Österreich" ist ein langfristiges Projekt mit dem Ziel, eine mehrbändige wissenschaftliche Gefäßpflanzenflora Österreichs zu erstellen, die auch on-line im Internet verfügbar ist. Das Werk wird ein Standard-Nachschlagewerk sein, das eine Synthese unseres aktuellen Wissens über alle Gefäßpflanzensippen Österreichs (etwa 3200 Arten und Unterarten) bietet. Im Unterschied zur Exkursionsflora beruht es auf Autopsie der in Österreich wildlebenden Populationen und des vorhandenen Herbarmaterials sowie der Erfassung der gesamten taxonomischen, floristischen und ökologischen Spezialliteratur. ...
