Plant species names

[Karen L. Wilson]

     The Global Plant Checklist of the International Organization for Plant
     Information includes authorities. It can be accessed at the IOPI web
     site http://iopi.csu.edu.au/iopi
     The Checklist is still being developed, but it does already include
     data on North American, Australian and European plants inter alia,
     based on the lists put together by Flora Europaea, ITIS and Australian
     Census of Vascular Plants.
