Checklist

Español Français
 

The Flora of Paraguay Checklist is the result of a combined effort coordinated by the project Flora del Paraguay (Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève Switzerland) in collaboration with the Instituto de Botánica Darwinion (San Isidro, Argentine), the Missouri Botanical Garden (St. Louis - Missouri, USA), the Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste (Corrientes, Argentina) and the Facultad de Ciencias Químicas (Asunción, Paraguay).

The database results from the compilation of information from several sources. It gathers together all the names associated with vascular plants collected in Paraguay. The data will be permanently updated. The standardization of the authors of names follows the Authors of plant names (Brummitt & Powell, 1992).

The following sources of information were used for the elaboration of the checklist database:
