International Plant Names Index (IPNI)

The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) is a collaborative database that provides a comprehensive catalog of scientific names for plants, including their synonyms and associated publication details. It serves as a vital reference for botanists, researchers, and anyone interested in plant taxonomy, ensuring consistent identification and classification of plant species. By facilitating access to accurate naming information, IPNI supports biodiversity research, conservation efforts, and the study of plant relationships, helping to maintain a standardized system for identifying and communicating about the vast diversity of the world's flora.
