| Description | This taxonomic group is assigned to the WFO TEN (Taxonomic Expert Network): Conifers ( https://about.worldfloraonline.org/tens/Conifers ). This TEN administers: Araucariaceae, Cupressaceae, Ginkgoaceae, Pinaceae, Podocarpaceae, Sciadopityaceae and Taxaceae. Pending the inclusion of the first classification update from this TEN, nomenclatural and classification data are managed by the WFO Taxonomic Working Group using information derived from various sources. The initial data ingestion into the World Flora Online taxonomic backbone was from The Plant List Version 1.1 (TPL, http://theplantlist.org, September 2013), with the full list of contributing datasets given here: http://theplantlist.org/1.1/about/#collaborators. New taxonomic names have been incorporated into WFO from nomenclators: International Plant Name Index (IPNI, https://www.ipni.org) for vascular plants, and Tropicos (https://www.tropicos.org) for bryophytes. Taxonomic and nomenclatural updates have been incorporated from the World Checklist of Vascular Plants version 2.0 (WCVP, http://wcvp.science.kew.org), facilitated by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. |
