The
Census of SA Plants, Algae and Fungi
- The Census
of SA Plants, Algae and Fungi provides a summation of the current state
of scientific knowledge of the flora of South Australia, as reviewed
by the taxonomic botanists and research associates of the State Herbarium
of South Australia.
You are able
to generate lists of all or selected groups of plants for the whole
State or for a selection of regions.
Current
Coverage
-
- Coverage of
the South Australian Census has been traditionally confined to the vascular
plants, the more prominent components of our flora, comprising the flowering
plants, gymnosperms and ferns.
-
- Since the publication
of the Marine Benthic Flora of Southern Australia by Professor
Bryan Womersley, the online Census has also been expanded to include
the marine benthic algae.
-
- It is anticipated
that lists of mosses, liverworts, lichens and fungi known from the State
will be available in the latter half of 2005.
-
- The Census
lists current scientific names of plants with their regional distribution
within South Australia. Important former names (synonyms) are provided
with each current name. Searches can be performed on current or former
names.
