FloraBase - the Western Australian Flora

Western Australia is recognised as possessing one of the most diverse and unique floras in the world. The isolated south-western corner of Western Australia, with its mediterranean climate, is considered amongst the world's 34 plant biodiversity hotspots. This website delivers the latest authoritative information about the Western Australian flora in an accessible and interactive manner. Information is presented in a thematic way, so that users focused on particular components of the State's flora, such as the conservation taxa or naturalised weeds can readily keep up to date. Users can also find information by browsing or searching the site to explore their own special interests. FloraBase provides botanical information on all Western Australian vascular plant families, genera and species as well as identification tools, photos, maps, a database of botanical literature and (for registered users) the collecting details of over 722,671 vouchered herbarium specimens from across the State. A database of Robert Brown's Australian botanical specimens is also available. Western Australia hosts representatives from over 210 vascular plant families, the largest families in terms of species number being the Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Proteaceae, Poaceae and Asteraceae. Endemism in the largest families generally ranges between 50% and 80% indicating both the significant biodiversity of woody perennials and the unique nature of Western Australia's flora. Further floristic information is available here, including details of the newly adopted systematic sequence of families.西澳大利亚州（Western Australia）被公认为拥有全球最为多样且独特的植物区系之一。该州与世隔绝的西南角拥有地中海气候，被列为全球34个植物生物多样性热点地区之一。 本网站以便捷交互的方式发布关于西澳大利亚州植物区系的最新权威信息。信息以主题化方式呈现，以便关注该州植物区系特定组成部分（如保护类群或归化杂草）的用户可随时获取最新资讯。 用户亦可通过浏览或搜索本网站探索自身的专属研究兴趣。FloraBase提供西澳大利亚州所有维管植物科、属、种的植物学信息，同时配备鉴定工具、影像资料、分布图、植物学文献数据库，以及（针对注册用户）全州范围内超过722671份带凭证标本馆标本的采集详情。此外，罗伯特·布朗（Robert Brown）澳大利亚植物标本数据库亦可供使用。 西澳大利亚州拥有超过210个维管植物科的代表类群，按物种数量排序的优势科依次为豆科（Fabaceae）、桃金娘科（Myrtaceae）、山龙眼科（Proteaceae）、禾本科（Poaceae）以及菊科（Asteraceae）。这些大科的特有率普遍介于50%至80%，既体现了木本多年生植物的显著生物多样性，也彰显了西澳大利亚州植物区系的独特属性。更多植物区系相关信息可在此获取，包括最新采用的科系统排列序列详情。
