Index Kewensis Plantarum Phanerogamarum

The Index Kewensis and its supplements, issued every five years, are concise reference sources for the names of flowering plants. They list the places of publication, authors, and country of origin for each species. The supplements also record the transference of species from one genus to another as taxonomic opinion changes. The work is thus an indispensable reference source, whether the reader is interested in academic or applied aspects of the subject.
