This illustrated checklist of the Philippine vascular flora is a continuation of the work of Elmer D. Merrill (1876-1956) and Leonardo L. Co (1953-2010).
CDFP is a checklist of the native, naturalized, and invasive vascular plant species of the Philippines. With citizen scientists and taxonomists in its engine room, CDFP aims to provide a real-time overview of the composition of the Philippine flora. The checklist includes synonyms, general distribution information, conservation status information, and references to the scientific literature. CDFP is illustrated with over 72,000 photos, representing c. 48% of the c. 10,000 plant species in the country.
