Does KBD standardise plant names?
Genus and species names are usually entered as in the publication. Family names are treated differently in different databases. Kew Record and Economic Botany use family names as given in Vascular Plant Families and Genera. Plant Micromorphology uses both the traditional family names, e.g. Leguminosae, and the new forms, e.g. Fabaceae. Where several names are in use for a plant, you should search for all of them.
