The British Antarctic
Survey’s Antarctic Plant Database holds over 50,000
herbarium
records for Antarctic and sub-Antarctic flowering plants and
cryptogams held in herbaria world-wide. In addition, it holds
information on species occurrences recorded in the literature for
southern polar regions and synonymy indexes for relevant species.
The database has been linked to a geographic information system,
which can aid record validation and resource management as well
as the study of species distributions and biodiversity.
