Flora-On: occurrence data of the flora of mainland Portugal

Lead organisation: Sociedade Portuguesa de Botanica (Academic)

Flora-On is a portal that aims to systematize photographic, geographic, morphological and ecological information of all native or naturalized vascular species1 listed for the flora of Portugal (Mainland, Azores2 and Madeira2). Observations are uploaded directly by collaborators, who are either experienced botanists/naturalists, or occasional collaborators. In this latter case, the observations are first validated by the Editorial Board before publication.

Policy uptake explanation

It is being used as an information basis for the red list of vascular plants in Portugal.
