International Plant Names Index

The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) is a global database that records and standardizes the scientific names of plants. It helps researchers, botanists, and horticulturists by providing authoritative information about plant names, their authors, and publication details. By ensuring consistency and accuracy, IPNI supports plant identification, classification, and research efforts worldwide. It is an essential resource for anyone working with plant taxonomy, ensuring that everyone refers to plants using correct and universally recognized names.
