Description:
The consensus taxonomy of plants used as the backbone for the World Flora Online (WFO, https://www.worldfloraonline.org/) portal, and issued as editions of the WFO Plant List (https://wfoplantlist.org). New versions of this checklist are released every six months in June and December: this is release 2024-12. The history of data development for the WFO taxonomic backbone is given on the WFO Plant List background page (https://wfoplantlist.org/background). Taxonomic names are incorporated into WFO from nomenclators International Plant Name Index (IPNI, https://www.ipni.org/) for vascular plants, and Tropicos (https://www.tropicos.org/home) for bryophytes. Taxonomic and nomenclatural updates are incorporated from the WFO's Taxonomic Expert Networks (TENs, https://about.worldfloraonline.org/tens) and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP, https://powo.science.kew.org/about-wcvp), facilitated by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
