Census of South Australian plants, algae and fungi

The Census of South Australian Plants, Algae and Fungi provides a summary of the current state of scientific knowledge of South Australia's flora. It is reviewed and maintained by taxonomic botanists and research associates at the State Herbarium of South Australia.

The Census covers all major flora groups managed by the State Herbarium, including vascular plants (flowering plants, conifers and ferns), bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts), algae, fungi and lichens. It lists the current scientific names of species and their distribution within South Australia, along with key supporting information such as former names and status. These records can be searched online through the Census search page.

The fifth edition of the Census of South Australian Vascular Plants was published in 2005. Since then, the Census has been maintained in a digital database. Current information is provided as interim PDF plant lists, available on the State Herbarium of South Australia FloraSA Census of SA webpage.

Names accepted for entry into the BDBSA can also be viewed and downloaded from the vascular plants* and fungi, lichen & bryophytes* BDBSA taxonomic lists.
