Abstract
Flora of Equatorial Guinea is a research project coordinated by
the Real Jardín Botánico of Madrid with the aim to produce a modern Flora for
this almost unknown territory. One of our goals is to develop the website www.
floradeguinea.com. A system of relational databases with an implemented
Thesaurus - to minimize typographical mistakes - allows the on-line managing
and updating of nomenclatural information, herbarium specimens, literature
records, vernacular names and bibliography. Images and maps are also
linked to accepted names. We are now implementing interactive keys for
identification. In our wiki-based system, Scans of herbarium specimens from
all species growing in the country are also being uploaded. Species from
neighboring countries are included as well, since some of them could appear
in Equatorial Guinea.
