Sources and method

The taxonomic backbone and the sources behind the data. Each species page lists its own sources and last-verified date.

1. Mangrove Species Reference seed list (owner-supplied CSV, 53 species).

   Licence: Owner-supplied working data; licence to be confirmed (decision D8).

   Source of the seed records in this scaffold. To be superseded by per-field sources during M0.

2. Plants of the World Online, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

   https://powo.science.kew.org/

   Licence: Per-dataset; confirm before bulk reuse. Used to look up identifiers and link out.

   Proposed primary taxonomic backbone (decision D4). Data is not warranted by Kew for quality or accuracy.

3. World Flora Online.
