The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) is a database of the
names and associated basic bibliographical details of all seed
plants. Its goal is to eliminate the need for repeated reference
to primary sources for basic bibliographic information about
plant names. The data are freely available and are gradually
being standardized and checked. IPNI will be a dynamic resource,
depending on direct contributions by all members of the
botanical community. IPNI is the product of a collaboration
between The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Harvard University
Herbaria, and the Australian National Herbarium.
