DATA ORIGINS

Data on Croatian vascular flora from database Flora Croatica Database (CROFlora) are from several sources:

1 Flora Croatica - taxonomic and related data

A basic list of about 12000 taxa originates from database for middle Europe FLOREIN 4.1 ((Interaktives Programm zur Bearbeitung floristischer Daten, Zentrallstelle für Floristischer Kartierung Deutschland), and it was used by authors approval. This list contains the list of Central European Flora according to:

EHRENDORFER F. (1973): Liste der Gefässpflanzen Mitteleuropas. Gustav Fischer Verl., Stuttgrat.

This List has been modified, supplemented and changed regarding qualitative structure of Croatian flora and according to:

NIKOLIĆ T. ed. (1994): Flora Croatica, Index florae Croaticae Pars 1. Nat. Croat. 3 Suppl. 2: 1-116.

2 Ecological data

Data on 44 ecological parameters for 7300 taxa (according to 14 references, Ellenberg, Landolt, Kowarick, Klapp, etc.) were obtained from two sources:

The commercial source (Verlag Erich Goltz Goltze / Co. KG). This data belong to database SCRIPTA GEOBOTANICA XVIII Datenbank V 1.4. (Zeigewerte von Pflanzen in Mitteleuropa)
With kindness of dr. Ronalda Lindachera, as a part of database PHANART ver. 10 i PHANSYS (Datenbank der Gefässpflanzen Mitteleuropas, Bern)

3 Authors of plant names

Data on authors of taxa names are standardised according to:

BRUMMITT R. K., POWELL C. E. (1992): Authors of plant names, Royal Botanic Garden, Kew.

Data were obtained in digital form by kindness of Mr. R. K. Brummitta, and are included in Flora Croatica database in toto (full name, short name, the field of research, the year of birth and death, etc.) This data are part of valid names of taxa.

4 Classification system

Flora Croatica Database have the systematic arrangement according to:

6 Vernacular names

Vernacular names are given according to several authors and web resources (list in preparation):

7 Other data

Information on doubtful data (taxonomic or horologic) as well as on taxa cultivated or cultivated and naturalised are available on Web interface. This data derived from the Checklist of Croatian flora (Nikolić 1994, 1996, 2000, see above).

8 Photo/video documentation (in the construction!)

Photo documentation is related to the Checklist of Croatian flora, and is of multiple origin:

Original photo documentation made by associates from Department of Botany (Faculty of Science) was scanned (from dia-positives or prints) in order to supplement a database
Inserted photo documentation available through WWW services of other world institutes, was transferred to Flora Croatica database due to authors approval and with keeping all original marks on authorisation.
Scanned photos and illustrations from the publications, when not limited by author or publisher.
Photo material from the project "Botanical practicum On-Line" co-financed by Open Society

Photo documentation from database is not available as a whole by Web interface
