The Australian
National Botanic Gardens stores much of its botanical information in
a relational database management system (Oracle
RDBMS). Access to this database is restricted to staff, but selected
views of this data are publically accessible through gateways to Gopher
and the World Wide Web.
Australian Plant Name
Index (APNI) - the name and publication reference for every higher
plant taxon in Australia. All Australian plant names that have ever been
used are included, many of these are no longer in current use - see note
below. Note - the entry for the name of a plant accepted in the current
'Census of Australian Vascular Plants' is followed by a line 'CAVP' indicating
the state or states and regions within the states where the plant is known
to occur.
