The scheme is one of a number developed by Biodiversity Information Standards particularly aimed at taxonomic databases. [2] The starting point was the "need for an agreed system of geographical units at approximately 'country' level and upwards for use in recording plant distributions". [1]
The World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD) is a biogeographical system developed by the international Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) organization, formerly the International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases.
Endemic flora by country (139 C) Ferns by country (15 C) Monocots by country (3 C) Trees by country (80 C) A. Flora of Afghanistan (2 C, 235 P) Flora of Albania (1 C ...
This category is the top level for the flora of the nine botanical continents defined in the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD). A non-WGSRPD "supercontinent" is currently also used for categorizing plant distributions: Category:Flora of Asia combines the categories Category:Flora of temperate Asia and Category ...
A megadiverse country is one of a group of nations that harbours the majority of Earth's species and high numbers of endemic species. Conservation International identified 17 megadiverse countries in 1998, [1] [2] all of which are located at least partially in tropical or subtropical regions. Megadiversity means exhibiting great biodiversity.
This list of systems of plant taxonomy presents "taxonomic systems" used in plant classification. A taxonomic system is a coherent whole of taxonomic judgments on circumscription and placement of the considered taxa. It is only a "system" if it is applied to a large group of such taxa (for example, all the flowering plants).

The database uses the same taxonomical source as Kew's World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, which is the International Plant Names Index, [3] and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP). [5] The database contains information of the world's flora that was gathered in the past 250 years of botanical research.
