Package flora

Description

Collect data from the Brazilian Flora checklist (http://floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br).

Details

This package contains a set of tools solving problems that arise when one has to collect taxonomic and distribution information for large datasets of plants. Interacting with the Brazilian Flora Checklist website from a web browser is often a slow and somewhat cumbersome process, especially if you are not sure about the correct spelling of a name. With flora, however, you can:

  • get a suggestion for the correct spelling of a name from an incorrect one

  • search for its current taxonomic status

  • get its author(s), synonym(s), family, distribution, and lower taxa

  • process lists of names and automatically solve synonyms and typing errors

flora now holds all the data it needs. All functions can be used whilst offline.
