List of Useful Plant species according to the State of the World's Plants report (RBG Kew, 2016)

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew) published in 2016 the first State of the World's Plant report, with key statistics on plants. One of the highlights was the indication of at least 31,128 flowering plant species with a documented use. We provide here this list, including family, genus, full species name (with authors) and the level 1 of use, according to a simplified version of the economic botany data standards.Suggested citation:Diazgranados M., Allkin B., Black N., Canteiro C., Eastwood R., Hargreaves S., Hudson A., Milliken W., Nesbitt M., Willis K. & Ulian T. 2018.
