International Plant Names Index

[Mark Jackson]

Forwarded on behalf of the IPNI project:

IPNI officially launched
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Harvard University Herbaria
and the Australian National Herbarium in Canberra have announced
the Internet launch of the International Plant Names Index (IPNI).

This is a database of the names and associated basic
bibliographical details of all seed plants, a combination of the Index
Kewensis, Gray Index and the Australian Plant names Index. It is
fully searchable and freely available over the Internet. The index
was first available for searching in December last year but has
been recently updated with additional records for recently published
names recorded until 23rd May 2000, as well as much data on
geography and basionyms not previously available in this form.

To search IPNI, and for more details of the project, see
