Ngā Tipu o Aotearoa - New Zealand Plants
website provides access to information on plant
taxa that occur in New Zealand.
This information is derived from the New
Zealand Plant Names Database and the Allan Herbarium Specimen database.
The Plant Names Database
lists c. 46,000 names, including synonyms and incorrectly applied names. The database indicates which of the names are preferred for use at the
Allan Herbarium (CHR),
and provides information on the
biostatus and the authorship of the taxa. It contains data for lichens, liverworts, mosses, ferns, freshwater algae
and seed plants in New Zealand. Additional
biodiversity information on New Zealand flora provides users with a more complete
list of scientific names and
descriptions from recent taxonomic revisions, relevant
key and bibliographic information on the use of names in publication. The site also
provides vernacular and maori names, and images. Editorial work on the Plant Names Database is ongoing. As new
treatments, taxa and naturalisations are published these are added
to the database.
The Allan Herbarium Specimen Database provides the label information from the
herbarium specimens held at the Allan Herbarium. The collection includes specimens
of lichens, liverworts,
mosses, ferns, marine and freshwater algae and seed plants that
are wild in New Zealand.
Of the estimated
600,000 specimens held in this collection, approximately 25% have so far been databased.
The information derived from the specimen database is used to generate the geographic
distribution maps.
