Plant Fossil Names Registry

The Plant Fossil Names Registry is a database of paleobotanical names, types, works and authors. Use this website to register new plant fossil names and typifications as well as existing ones.

The aim of this database is to fulfill the requirement of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) as stated by Barkworth (et al. 2016), and to accumulate names of earlier described plant fossils serving as a potentially authoritative index of plant fossil names.

The Plant Fossil Names Registry is a database run by the National Museum Prague for the International Organisation of Palaeobotany.
