I would recommend the international GBIF database (https://www.gbif.org/). There are also national ones, for example the Swedish Artportalen (https://www.artportalen.se/) and the Norwegian Artsdatabanken (https://artsdatabanken.no/).

Thank you Carl, I will add the swedish and norvegian database to my list.

gbif.org is included, already. have a nice weekend, Ricarda

Hi Ricarda

for Switzerland distribution maps of vascular plants can be found here : https://www.infoflora.ch/de/

….and for bryophytes here: https://www.swissbryophytes.ch

best wishes

Ariel

Thanks for your suggestions,

I found one more via youtube

Dear Ricarda,

I would suggest you these two Databases:

1) For Italy, ActaPlantarum (available at this link https://www.actaplantarum.org);

2) For Europe, Euro+Med PlantBase (avaiable at this link https://www.emplantbase.org/home.html )

Thanks Marco for your suggestions.

On a light note - Wikipedia, yeah in some it offer more info then many others.

Besides, inaturalist is good one. Lets search RUSCUS HYPOGLOSSUM

[https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=table&taxon_id=205088]

Also from (https://wcsp.science.kew.org/furtherInformation.do?name_id=286774) to (https://www.gbif.org/species/2769775) you can get what you have asked for.

Welcome.

There is a database for Brazil, the SpeciesLink.

Link: https://specieslink.net/search/

Thanks Ailton, I tested it already with family Passifloraceae.

I recommend GBIF and different virtual herbaria.

Are there any databases, that are more regional and with better data for the Iran, adjacent countries and the arabian countries, like Syria, Northern Africa and Arabian peninsula ?

https://floraofksa.myspecies.info/

E-Flora of Saudi Arabia

I found this database with photos and gbif maps.

For the African flora, see, e.g., African Plant Database: https://africanplantdatabase.ch/

There's also a biodiversity database (with many records of plant taxa) that primarily focuses on Ukraine but also includes records from around the world - UkrBIN (https://ukrbin.com/).

And for Europe, you can also look at The Euro+Med Plantbase: http://ww2.bgbm.org/EuroPlusMed/query.asp

Thanks for the additions.

The Australasian Virtual Herbarium (AVH) provides access to the distribution data of over 8 million specimens in Australian and New Zealand herbaria...

https://avh.chah.org.au

Thanks Jürgen. This is a very special recommandation.

This is a good source - plant of the world online (https://powo.science.kew.org/). Similarly, you can check the website (http://www.worldfloraonline.org/). For Africa, you can explore http://posa.sanbi.org/; https://gdauby.github.io/rainbio/index.html; https://africanplantdatabase.ch/

Dear colleague, thanks a lot for your additions.

Perhaps you can check the github link once more,

as I could not open it.

best regards,

Ricarda

Hi,

www.bizimbitkiler.org.tr is vebsite for checklist of Turkey Vascular Plants, Lichens, Bryophytes, Algaes and Fungus.

www.turkiyeflorasi.org.tr is vebsite for Illustration Flora of Turkey.

Thanks for addition.

I think the GBIF database (https://www.gbif.org/) is the best.

The widely used global database GBIF (https://www.gbif.org/) supplemented by some continental (e.g., African Plant Database, APD, http://www.ville-ge.ch/musinfo/bd/cjb/africa/recherche.php) and national (e.g., the Chinese National Specimen Information Infrastructure, NSII, www.nsii.org.cn) databases with geo-referenced records.

Thank you for the additions.

Thanks a lot !

Francis Nge 倪继生 maybe a hint on this one ? :)

Thanks Delphine Tardif .

For Australian/NZ plants, try the Australasian Virtual Herbarium:

https://avh.ala.org.au/#tab_simpleSearch

And perhaps POWO with TDWG (botanical countries) from Kew:

https://powo.science.kew.org

Thank you for the additions, Francis.

My question started in January 27, 2022 and I never expected so many researchers contributing and following this topic. Thank you very much to all of you in all parts of the world.

All the best for the weeks left in 2022, happy christmas time and all the best for the new year 2023 !

Ricarda

Dear Ricarda

about my region in France : https://atlas.biodiversite-auvergne-rhone-alpes.fr/

I also use a swiss site

https://www.swissbryophytes.ch/index.php/fr/verbreitung?taxon_id=nism-2321

Thank you. Very beautiful photos from the alpine region.

Thank you !

We provide this resource for the plants in Bulgaria. Not really a database and not geospacial data but with distribution maps of the floristic regions. Contains classic identification keys. It's in Bulgarian but easilly translatable by Google. https://botanica.gallery/plantkeybg/

Thank you.

For Argentina http://www.floraargentina.edu.ar/ and http://www.darwin.edu.ar/Proyectos/FloraArgentina/fa.htm

Thank you very much, Martin. Have a nice weekend.
