The global list of terrestrial plants "Daquan" is published in the UK

The Royal Botanical Garden and Missouri Botanical Garden jointly released the botanical list in London, which was jointly completed by a number of plant research institutions around the world The document, known by the industry as the "land plant encyclopedia", contains about 1.25 million names of land plants, including official scientific names and various aliases of various species Amir lugda, an expert in charge of compiling the list of plants in the Royal Botanical Garden, told Xinhua that it is a very complete list of terrestrial plants compiled on the basis of authoritative references, which contains a large number of aliases, and may be the most complete list of plants Unified names are very important for plant research and academic exchange, which can avoid misunderstanding and improve efficiency From this catalogue of plants, we can see that there are many different names for the same plant in botany About 1.04 million of the 1.25 million plant names recorded in this document are the names in the classification system of "Jiemen compendium", but only 29% of these "within the system" names are officially recognized According to reports, this "plant list" contains all the plant names in the official documents that the compiler can find However, due to the lack of scientific evidence for naming some names, it is still uncertain whether they are the official names or aliases of some plants Therefore, the list will be revised and changed in the future as the research progresses.
