India Flora Online, a digital database of the flora of India
The database, which is the country’s most comprehensive attempt to document its plant wealth
It is developed by IISc Bengaluru
Although India has made major strides in documenting its floristic diversity, the information cannot be accessed online in a single source.
An attempt has been made to overcome this deficiency in the ‘India Flora Online’ database.
The database is the only initiative of its kind presenting the flora of India that is backed by both herbarium collection and field data
The plants of neighbouring countries have been included for the sake of floristic completeness. (Including a record of plants from Afghanistan, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Pakistan)
