Annotated Checklist of Vascular Plants of Iceland
Latest version published by Icelandic Institute of Natural History on May 29, 2020
The annotated checklist of vascular plant of Iceland is a comprehensive catalogue of all vascular plant taxa: native and alien that occur in Iceland. Apart from the updated list of native taxa, a complete and revised list of non-native plants (both naturalized and casual) as well as a number of more important cultivated species. The checklist is almost entirely based on a thorough herbarium revision of the main public Icelandic herbaria (Wasowicz 2020).
Data Records
The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,153 records. 1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
