Synopsis

Knowledge of vascular plants has increased rapidly in recent years, and the taxonomic and geobotanical information scattered throughout the world in innumerable herbaria and botanical papers urgently requires synthesis at international or continental level. From the point of view of plant geography, including various aspects of chorology, one of the prerequisites of a successful large-scale synthesis of this type is an adequate Flora covering the area in question, and providing a common language in respect of the delimitation and nomenclature of the taxa to be treated. This essential condition is now fulfilled for Europe by the current volumes of Flora Europaea.
