Abstract
Anthos is the name of a database and search system for
quality-controlled chorological and taxonomic information on the
vascular plants of Spain. It provides a trustworthy solution for the
handling of accepted names and their synonyms, based on an analysis
of nomenclatural relations. It is based on the MS SQL-Server
relational database system. Information can be found on any plant,
using its accepted name or synonyms or vernacular names. The
geographical search options include lists of all plants of a given
territory, a province, a region, or an area delimited by its UTM
coordinates. Additional information is available in the form of
photographs or drawings, chromosome numbers, vernacular names and
synonyms.
Key words:
taxonomy, flora, Iberian Peninsula, Balearic
Islands, Canary Islands, database model.
