British and American botanists announced last week that they have created a list of all known land plant species, containing 1.25 million scientific names. This two-year project has created the largest and most comprehensive plant list ever made.
The goal is to have all plants cataloged and identified so scientists and others will have the ability to plan the sustainable use of plants, which are essential resources for food, medicines, and ecosystem services. The primary reason for the plant list is to ensure easy botanic retrieval of information about plants.
