We need to accelerate the digitization of existing botanical information and complete the global plant inventory 加快现有植物信息的数字化和完成全球植物编目迫在眉睫

Abstract

The availability of a global checklist of known land plants makes it possible to bring together all botanical information and make it accessible online. Two obstacles remain, however. First, most existing information is not yet digitized. Second, an estimated 10%‒25% more species are still undescribed and therefore invisible to science.
