International Plant Names Index

The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) is a database of the names and associated basic bibliographical details of seed plants, ferns and lycophytes. Its goal is to eliminate the need for repeated reference to primary sources for basic bibliographic information about plant names. The data are freely available and are gradually being standardized and checked. IPNI is a dynamic resource, depending on direct contributions by all members of the botanical community. IPNI is the product of a collaboration between The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Harvard University Herbaria, and the Australian National Herbarium.

国际植物名称索引（IPNI）乃种子植物、蕨类植物及鳞毛蕨类植物的名称及其相关基本文献资料的数据库。其旨在消除对植物名称基本文献信息原始来源的重复引用需求。数据资源免费开放，并正逐步实现标准化与核查。IPNI是一个动态资源，依赖于植物学界的全体成员的直接贡献。IPNI是英国皇家植物园、哈佛大学植物园及澳大利亚国家植物园之间合作的成果。
