fna-accepted-names
A checklist of the native and naturalized vascular plants found in North America, defined here to comprise Canada, Greenland, the continental United States, and the French Territorial Collectivity of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The list is based on names that are accepted in the Flora of North America North of Mexico (1993 onwards), but reflects nomenclatural corrections that have been made to the published work.
Data Records
The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 24,092 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
Flora of North America (FNA) presents for information on the names, taxonomic relationships, continent-wide distributions, and morphological characteristics of all plants native and naturalized found in North America north of Mexico. The Flora will appear in 30 volumes and will be available in print and on the Web. This checklist contains all names, from both published and yet-to-be published volumes.
