Motivation[edit]

This is a different ID from the Flora of Australia online ID, and it is unclear what it should be called: all suggestions welcome Flora of Australia online continues to exist and is enormously useful. However, the new site for profiles of species under "Flora of Australia" is to be found at Boronia serrulata Note that the current flora of Australia ID site, while it continues to exist, is no longer updated.

Reputable database, published by the Australian Biological Resources Study (Q4823886). At present not widely used as a citation source on en- and other Wikipedias. However, many taxa will never go up on the old Flora of Australia site and this is the site which is now being updated with many plants/taxa which are not available on the old site. Not surprisingly, it is currently working on supplementing the old database, with an apparent priority being for descriptions of plants/taxa not described in the old database. Despite its heading which includes ALA, it should not be entitled Atlas of living australia but have the title shown when viewing a profile MargaretRDonald (talk) 06:57, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
