Slovak

The Checklist of non-vascular and vascular plants of Slovakia is the first attempt to present a full list of the representatives of the Slovak flora. The aim of the editors and authors was to prepare this checklist as manual not only for those who work with plants as specialists in systematic botany and taxonomy, but also for phytocoenologists, environmentalists, plant ecologists and others who work in other botanical or biological sciences. In our checklist we included correct names and synonyms used in our botanical literature and selectively also the literature of neighbouring countries, which will help also non-specialists to use the relevant literature and nomenclature. The present checklist also represents a new version of the Red list of the flora of Slovakia and a list of Slovak vernacular names of plants. While for the cyanophytes/cyanobacteria, algae, lichens, and bryophytes special checklists have already been published, in the case of fungi it is the first attempt.
