Taxonomy
Query scientific names
The Taxonomy Tool provides the option to search for any species, genus and its respective tribal and supertribal placement. As a result,
the respective taxonomic information, including references, is given and from search results higher rank taxa can be explored
The originally underlying species check-list has been worked on during 2010–2020 with the earlier version 1.3 (Downloads).
The new BrassiBase release is build on a completely revised checklist, which is actually comprising 363 accepted genera, 4148 accepted species,
428 subspecies and 58 varieties (excluding nominates) distributed across 61 tribes, five supertribes and two subfamilies.
The checklist is continously updated and mirrored with the check list hold with WorldFloraOnline (WFO), which is also curated by the
BrassiTEN (BrassiBase/Brassicaceae Taxonomic Expert Network).
