Flora of China

《中国植物志》是一个国际合作项目，旨在出版第一本以现代英语记述中国3万多种维管植物的著作。这标志着促进国际植物交流进入了一个新阶段。所有分类处理均由中外植物学家共同撰写。近150名中国植物学家和500名非中国植物学家参与了该项目。该项目最终将出版25卷文本和插图。家庭帐户将在网上提供，一个完全可搜索的物种帐户数据库、分布图和其他数据将使浏览成为可能。这些权威信息将供全世界从事基础研究和应用研究的科学家以及从事保护、土地管理、园艺和医学工作的科学家使用。

The Flora of China is a collaborative international project to publish the first modern English-language account of more than 30,000 species of vascular plants of China. It marks a new stage in the promotion of international botanical interchange. All taxonomic treatments are jointly co-authored by Chinese and non-Chinese botanists. Nearly 150 Chinese botanists and 500 non-Chinese botanists are involved in the project. The project will eventually result in publication of 25 volumes of text and illustrations. Family accounts will be made available on the web, and a fully searchable database of species accounts, distribution maps, and other data will enable browsing. This authoritative information will be used worldwide by scientists in basic and applied research, as well as by those working in conservation, land management, horticulture, and medicine.
