What are the botanical countries where the species are found?
We based our data on the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions, provided by the International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases for Plant Sciences (TDWG; Brummitt 2001). This scheme classifies terrestrial areas into 369 botanical countries and 9 botanical continents, allowing us to adopt the spatial scale considered most appropriate for the scope of the DT PLANTS NETWORK. After compiling the cleaned occurrence records for each species (click here for more details), we identified every botanical country in which each species has been recorded. The information about each species’ confirmed occurrences across botanical countries was retrieved from Plants of the World Online (POWO).
