Flora of China

《中国的植物志》是一个国际合作项目，旨在出版第一本关于中国30,000多种维管植物的现代英文记述。这标志着促进国际植物交流进入了一个新阶段。所有的分类处理都是由中国和非中国的植物学家共同撰写的。近150名中国植物学家和500名非华裔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。家庭账户将在网络上提供，一个完全可搜索的物种账户数据库、分布图和其他数据将使浏览成为可能。这些权威信息将被世界各地的科学家用于基础和应用研究，以及那些从事保护、土地管理、园艺和医学工作的科学家。

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.
