The Species Plantarum Programme (SPP)

The Species Plantarum Programme is a long term project to record essential taxonomic information on vascular plants worldwide: accepted names and synonyms with places of publication and types, short descriptions of all taxa from family to infraspecific rank, keys, distributions, maps, illustraions, references to literature comments, etc. It is being published in hardcopy as 'Flora of the World'; it will also be available electronically. Nomenclatural and distributional data from this is being made available in the Global Plant Checklist.
