RBGE - World Flora Online

Introduction
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh maintains numerous curated datasets that contribute taxonomic data to the World Flora Online (WFO) taxonomic backbone.
The service you are currently using is intended to provide a uniform response to requests for information regarding the scientific name associated with a wfo-id that is managed by staff at the RBGE. 
Many but not all of these data sets have an associated online "resource centre". These resource centres give access to extensive details of taxa and associated specimens and images within the resource centre's area of interest. When this is the case, a forward link to the relevant resource centre is included in the name details displayed in the pane opposite.
