Med-Checklist is a synonymic catalogue of vascular plant taxa found growing in the wild in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. It has been designed as a synthetic guide to Mediterranean standard Floras, and allows one to "translate"the botanical nomenclature used in any of them into what is believed to be the correct nomenclature under current taxonomic standards. It also gives territory-by-territory distributions for all listed taxa up to the aggregate level. Thanks to a stable, standardized numbering system for all included taxa, Med-Checklist will furthermore enable the rational application of EDP techniques to problems of Mediterranean plant ecology, syntaxonomy and floristics. Above all, Med-Checklist intends,through the free use of the question mark, to focus the attention on the countless unresolved problems of taxonomic status and geographical distribution of Mediterranean plants.
