Important! Plantminer will soon move to a new server. Speed will be the same, but the new server supports a few more concurrent users. If you want to help testing the new stack, please go to https://app.plantminer.com and report any issues you see. The new app requires registration. Everything else is the same.

Columns might be automatically removed from display to fit the width of your screen. IDs are links to taxa on the Brazilian Flora 2020 website , which is the source of all data used here. Please cite them accordingly. Threat status is determined by CNC Flora (in column threat status cnc), Portaria MMA n 443 (in column threat status mma), and Portaria MMA n 148 (2022). Dataset last updated on 17th Jan 2024.
