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). ...

The second edition of the "Mansfeld-Verzeichnis , which is a standard source of information on cultivated plants, deals with c. 4.800 species (without ornamental and forestry plants). Now the third, enlarged edition of the book [HANELT, P. (Ed.), in prep.] is nearly finished. It will be published in English and will contain about 6.000 species of cultivated plants as well as many infraspecific taxa. Parallel to the book edition a database version available in the Internet is being developed. For this purpose the electronic text files of the submitted manuscripts are structured and converted into tables, so that they can be imported into a database. These tasks are part of the BIG project (BundesInformationssystem Genetische Ressourcen), which is funded by the BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology). ...

SysTax is an integrated concept-based database system for storing biodiversity data. The SysTax database system comprises: A) concept-based botanical and zoological systematics - SysTax stores an unlimited number of "concepts" of a taxon regarding its systematic position and its synonyms; B) literature; C) Botanic Gardens, Herbaria, and Zoological Collections - SysTax holds the data of an unlimited number of gardens of other collections and provides all functions for e.g. seed exchange and loan; D) addresses; E) multimedia data (pictures, sound files and video sequences) - Multimedia data can be linked with collection items, taxa, and / or literature citations. ...

Bei der Ansprache schwierig zu bestimmender Pflanzenarten treten immer wieder Probleme auf. Die hier abrufbaren digitalen Bilder wichtiger Details können helfen, diese zu meistern. Sie bieten vor allem die Möglichkeit, ähnlich aussehende Sippen vergleichend nebeneinander zu betrachten. Dadurch fällt es wesentlich leichter, die in den Bestimmungsschlüsseln genannten Unterschiede zu erkennen. Die Bestimmungshilfen sind als Ergänzung zur "Flora von Thüringen" gedacht. Sie können aber auch den Umgang mit den meisten anderen Bestimmungsbüchern zur Flora von Deutschland erleichtern. ... [Information des Anbieters]
Distribution of all species: Distribution maps of more than 2600 plant species are available as GIF images. The plant names to select are in Latin, German, French and Italian. Additionally, Red List data and Landolt's indicator values are displayed. Distribution of rarest species: 132 distribution maps of very rare plants taken from the publication 'Merkblätter Artenschutz: Blütenpflanzen und Farne' (1999. Käsermann C. und Moser D.M.). Mapping areas: The distribution maps are based on an inventory conducted in 1967-79, for which information on species occurrences in 593 contiguous mapping areas was collected nationwide. Species richness: Information on regional diversity such as absolute number of species, simulated number of species, number of neophytes etc. The information comes in the form of commented maps.(German and italian only). ...

‘Botany in Pictures’ has set itself the aim of documenting the entire flora of Austria and the adjoining regions in pictures. In the meantime, our digital picture archive has grown to more than 30000 photos whereby we have been able to enlarge our own picture holding with numerous entries from other photo-botanists who have generously made their photos available to us. Thus, we can quickly expand ‘Botany in Pictures’ and continually show new pictures on the internet. Up to now, 1800 species have been documented in ‘Botany in Pictures’, with more than 2700 pictures. Many other pictures can be made available by request. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
In the literature database of the Botanical Institute of the University of Innsbruck, articles from current journals and the new books and separata of the institute are registered. Up to the spring of 2006 ca. 50000 citations were already recorded; the database will be continuously expanded. One focal point is formed by geobotanical, bryological, and palaeobotanical journals; Vegetatio, Nova Hedwigia and several palaeobotanical journals for example, are complete from Volume 1 (as long as they are in the library’s holdings). The geographical emphasis is on Tyrol / Austria, thought the database is not restricted to this area. ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
The exsiccata collection 'Flora exsiccata Bavarica' ─ published by the former Royal Botanical Society in Regensburg (now the Regensburg Botanical Society) ─ contains about 2000 species of ferns and flowering plants that are found in Bavaria. The database contains colour photos of the herbarium specimens; searches can be made not only by species name but also by locations, collectors, etc. ...

FloraWeb is the online offering of the Federal Agency for Nature Protection (BfN) concerning wild plant species, plant communities, and the natural vegetation of Germany. At present the species selection is restricted to ferns and flowering plants (phanerogams), the extension to mosses (bryophytes) is planned. The entries come from current, actualised databases and projects of the BfN and its co-operating partners (see below) and thus are available to the public in their current form. Under the menu point “Plant species” ("Pflanzenarten") ca. 3500 species profiles with up to 55 individual items of information about taxonomy, biology, ecology, habitat, distribution, and inventory situation, endangerment and protection, as well as photos, can be accessed that are generated at the current time by means of dynamic accessing the underlying databases. The species descriptions can be accessed by name, by alphabetical name lists, or a systematic family tree. Information about distributions in Germany is available through dynamically prepared maps and the interactive GIS application FloraMap. In the sub-menu point “Properties” ("Suche nach Eigenschaften") all individual information items in searches can be freely combined. Again, the resulting species lists can be transferred to the map module FloraMap where one then has the possibility of displaying the spatial distribution of these groups of species in Germany. Under the menu point “Associations” ("Gesellschaften"), the likewise collected information about plant communities and their regional endangerment in Germany is stored in the profiles. These profiles of the vegetation units are extended through a database of phytosociological records under the name “VegetWeb”, which is to be continuously expanded. Under the menu point “Vegetation map” the units of the potential natural vegetation of Germany are displayed in profiles, with text explanations and photos, that will be expanded through the map display dynamically linked to the profiles. The data-offering thus defined in the area “Data service” will be expanded in “InformationsNetz” with explanations of the botanical connections and further information about the data sources. ...

The literature database of the vegetation ecology of central Europe of the Braunschweig University Library is a current database in which scientific publications about the flora and vegetation of Central Europe are indexed. Until now, the focus has been on Germany; indexing of the relevant publications for Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and Slovenia is planned. The adjacent areas are also taken into consideration in the selection. Currently ca. 11000 publications have been indexed whereby the data are continually updated and expanded. A special feature of the database is that scientists who are active in this area can themselves enter records of their publications into the database via the World Wide Web. Their entries are stored directly in the database and are then immediately searchable worldwide. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
