6 years ago Email from Lorenzo 13/2/18 notes that they intend 'to put the checklist online in the next few months (we have also non-native plants in press), through a platform made available by Pier Luigi Nimis and Stefano Martellos from Trieste.'
Take a watching brief…
Dataset link: https://figshare.com/articles/An_updated_checklist_of_the_vascular_flora_native_to_Italy/5868882
Region: Italy
Taxon: Plantae
Type: checklist
Why is this important: An updated inventory of the native vascular flora of Italy, providing details on the occurrence at regional level
Priority: medium
License: CC BY
Bibliographical reference: An updated checklist of the vascular flora native to Italy
Comments: The checklist includes 8195 taxa (6417 species and 1778 subspecies), distributed in 1092 genera and 152 families; 23 taxa are lycophytes, 108 ferns and fern allies, 30 gymnosperms and 8034 angiosperms. The taxa currently occurring in Italy are 7483, while 568 taxa have not been confirmed in recent times, 99 are doubtfully occurring in the country and 19 are data deficient. Out of the 568 not confirmed taxa, 26 are considered extinct or possibly extinct.
Second author on the paper is one of the group of Italian academics we're working with at present. Probably worth talking with Lorenzo about getting a compatible version (recognizing that there seems to be an Italian preference for BioCASE). He's already responsible for sharing data from some regional citizen science projects.
