Abstract
Florabank aims to centralize all distribution and chorological data on vascular plants in Flanders (Belgium). Beside distribution data it also includes a database on plant trait of vascular plants indigineous or naturalised in Flanders. One of the major outputs of this research was the Atlas of Vascular Plants in Flanders which was published in 2006 (Van Landuyt et al. (ed.) 2006. Atlas van de flora van Vlaanderen en het Brussels Gewest. Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek & Nationale Plantentuin van België i.s.m. Flo.Wer. Brussel, 1008 p.).
