Usage

Format

A data frame with 3227 rows and 28 variables:

kew_id

character the Kew identification number associated with the main taxon name used in this dataset

unclear_species_marker

character Marked with "y" are species that have a high likelihood of misidentification in the field due to apomixis or other factors, members of sections, aggregates etc.

extinct_species_marker

character Marked with "E" are species that were labelled as extinct in Stace, 2019 and show no signs of re-appearance in the study area. No additional data is given for these species beyond their taxonomy.

taxon_name

character Species binomen and authority according to Stace, 2019

taxon_name_binom

character Species binomen according to Stace, 2019

authors

character Authority associated with the species binomen according to Stace, 2019

taxon_name_WCVP

character Species binomial according to World Checklist of Vascular Plants, 2020, differs from taxon_name in case of spelling differences

authors_WCVP

character Authority associated with the species binomial according to WCVP, 2020, differs from taxon_name in case of spelling differences

series

character Taxonomic rank, sensu Stace 2019: Series

species

character Taxonomic rank, sensu Stace 2019: Species

group

aggregate

character Identity of the species binomial as eponym of an aggregate (agg), or as a member of an aggregate (in agg), “agg.”, “in agg.”, NA

members_of_agg.

character Other species associated with the aggregate eponym

taxonomic_status

factor Taxonomic status as listed in the World Checklist of Vascular plants - one of "Accepted", "Synonym", "Homotypic_Synonym", "Unplaced"

accepted_kew_id

character The Kew identification number associated with the accepted WCVP taxon name if this differs from the main taxon name

accepted_name

character The WCVP accepted taxon name if this differs from the main taxon name

accepted_authors

character The authority associated with the accepted WCVP taxon name if this differs from the main taxon name

imperfect_match_with_Stace_IV

character Marked with "y" are species where name according to Stace 2019 does not match WCVP name (i.e. due to small spelling differences)
