A checklist of the Vascular Plants of Taiwan

During the ten years that the five volumes of the Flora of Taiwan, Second Edition, were being published, it was inevitable that a revived interest in the flora would lead to new discoveries. An increase in taxonomic activity and reexamination of some taxonomically difficult groups has also revealed a number of taxa that had been previously overlooked. To account for the new discoveries that were reported too late to be included in the published volumes, and to provide a convenient account of all the plants of Taiwan, we have prepared this checklist.
