Flora's on the internet

In traditional paper form, numerous floras are available, both new and second-hand, covering many regions. If you're looking for a flora specific to a particular area, we highly recommend obtaining a copy of the Guide to standard floras of the world, written by D.G. Frodin. This comprehensive book provides an organized overview of floras categorized by country or region. For instance, if you're planning a botanical journey to Baluchistan and lack information about the wild flowers of that region, Frodin's work indicates that there is indeed a "Working list of the flowering plants of Baluchistan", published in 1909 by the Baluchistan Forestry Department. As for acquiring that specific list, Frodin may not be able to assist you, but that's where the internet comes to the rescue!

The compilation of these lists is an ongoing process, and any updates, additions, or remarks are most welcome (feel free to use our contact form). Our primary focus is the European region. For online floras covering areas outside Europe, you can refer to www.efloras.org. We first provide a concise list of the main sites in Europe, followed by a more extensive list (see below) for each country or larger island.
