Go down to Kew in lilac time - online
The Kew record of taxonomic literature (from
the Royal Botanic Gardens, at
Kew, UK) is now online. You can search
the complete database on its own or in conjunction with either or
both of two other Kew datasets - Economic Botany
and Plant Micromorphology. The Kew record of
taxonomic literature is a bibliography of more than 200,000
publications relating to the taxonomy of flowering plants,
gymnosperms, and ferns. It was published from 1971 up to the end of
2007, but is no longer being updated. The other two datasets are
still being added to.
Economic Botany contains 33,000 references to publications relating
to the uses by humans of flowering plants, gymnosperms and
ferns.
Plant Micromorphology contains more than 90,000 references to
publications and is probably the most comprehensive computerised
index to higher plant micromorphology in existence.
