  International Working Group on  Taxonomic Databases (TDWG )  
  TDWG was started in 1985 as an international working group to explore ideas on standardization and  collaboration between major plant taxonomic database projects.  Members include institutions and  individuals responsible for botanical databases.  TDWG is affiliated with the International Union of  Biological Sciences (IUBS) as the Commission on Plant Taxonomic Databases.  The goal of TDWG is to  establish international collaboration among plant taxonomic database projects so as to promote wider and  more effective dissemination and exchange of information. 
  TDWG recognizes that existing taxonomic databases will use different software, hardware, and file  structures.  The primary objective of the organization has been to promote common use and interpretation  of terminology, data fields, dictionaries, and common logical rules and data relationships.  To further this  aim, TDWG forms working subgroups to develop standards and considers other standards developed  independently by institutions and individuals.  TDWG annual meetings provide a forum for discussing the  form and content of the proposed standards, for voting on the adoption of standards, and discussing other  aspects of taxonomic databases.  The standards adopted by TDWG are made available in published form  so that those responsible for taxonomic databases may consider them, both in the planning of new  projects and in the management of existing ones. 
  For those initiating a new project, the standards illustrate how at least several other databases have  thought it best to go about a task avoiding repetition of design effort and illustrating how to overcome  difficulties that may be encountered.  If the decision is made to use a standard for a particular database (a  completely voluntary decision, of course), it becomes easier to exchange data or collaborate with a  growing community of other databases using the same standard.  Organizers of established databases may  find that the standards suggest ways of organizing data for communication and may want to consider  these internationally developed standards in future revisions of their data structure and content. 
  The standards published by TDWG will be enhanced and updated when considered necessary.  All  correspondence should be sent to the TDWG Secretariat.  Anyone interested in the development of plant  taxonomic databases is encouraged to become a member of TDWG (there are both institutional and  personal members), to attend the annual discussion meetings, and receive the TDWG Newsletter.

  Preface to First Edition 
  In setting out to establish standards for data fields in botanical databases, the  International Working  Group on Taxonomic Databases for Plant Sciences  (TDWG) identified at an early stage of its existence a  need for an agreed system of geographical units at approximately “country” level and upwards for use in  recording plant distributions.  This would aim to provide a standard which different organisations  maintaining databases could adopt so that they could compare and exchange data with each other without  loss of information due to incompatible geographical boundaries.  The present publication has resulted  from the deliberations over a period of three years of a committee of both taxonomic and applied  botanists set up to produce such a standard. 
  The system offered covers the whole world and identifies units at four levels, firstly continental, secondly  regional (or subcontinental), thirdly at what may be called “Botanical Country” level (which may often  ignore purely political considerations), and fourthly at a slightly lower level called “Basic Recording  Units” where political integrity is fully recognised.  In many cases, where Botanical Countries have no  complicating political factors, the units at Level-3 and Level-4 are identical.  Very large countries,  however, have been subdivided into more conveniently sized units according to constituent states or  provinces.  It is a fundamental principle that units at all levels are bounded either by political boundaries  which appear on modern maps or by coast lines.  Modern geographical information systems have not  superseded the need for such a scheme. 
  This publication provides an introduction to the system followed by an account of the rationale behind  decisions and the problems that had to be considered in its design.  The geographical standard itself is  presented in five tables.  A gazetteer is included which relates over 2100 geographical names to this  system.  Finally, the units recognised are shown in seventeen maps.  [ Note added in press:  While this text has been in press, major political changes have taken place in the  U.S.S.R. and Yugoslavia.  We have opted to leave the text as it was in August 1991.  The units recognised  in the former U.S.S.R. are unaffected by the political changes.  It may be desirable to subdivide  Yugoslavia, perhaps recognising newly independent states at Level-4, when the political situation is more  stable.  S. Hollis and R.K. Brummitt, January 1992.]

  Introduction to First Edition 
  The needs of different organisations vary considerably, but it seems that most botanical databases record  information related principally to politically defined countries.  The same can be said for storage of  specimens in herbaria, and for citation of specimens in taxonomic revisions.  However, political countries  vary greatly in size, from less than one square kilometre (Vatican City) to over 22 million square  kilometres covering one sixth of the world’s surface area (U.S.S.R.).  Furthermore, many of them include  physically remote parts, particularly islands, and nearly all traditional continental boundaries are traversed  by political countries.  A purely political geographical system cannot, therefore, be used to meet the needs  of botanists who want more biologically based “countries,” regions and continents for recording botanical  distributions or arranging specimens. 
  The system offered here recognises the need for compromise and adaptability.  At the lowest level the  Basic Recording Units (Level 4) are defined so that they may be grouped together in two different ways,  firstly into the politically based units as recognised by the International Standards Organisation ( ISO  Standard  3166, 1988), and secondly into traditional botanical units of the three higher levels.  The Basic  Recording Units may thus be seen as the common denominators for both a politically and a botanically  oriented system of describing plant distributions, and also as the appropriate units for recording all  individual distribution records. 
  The main table below, Table 4, lists all units recognised at all four levels.  The sequence of continents and  regions is determined by a numeric system, with the Botanical Countries at Level 3 being alphabetic  within regions and Basic Recording Units at Level 4 alphabetic within Botanical Countries where  appropriate.  A five-letter code (explained later) is provided for each of the lowest units, offering an  abbreviated reference.  The political position of each lowest unit is also indicated by the two-letter ISO  code. 
  There are five other tables in the document.  Tables 1 and 2 summarise the continents and regions, whilst  Table 3 gives an alphabetic key to the three-letter codes referring to the Botanical Countries.  Table 5 lists  all the Basic Recording Units in alphabetical order by their ISO code, so that the way political countries  have been subdivided (if any) can be determined.  Finally in Table 6, a gazetteer is provided giving an  alphabetic listing of all names accepted at either Level 3 or Level 4.  The gazetteer also gives many other  geographical names likely to be encountered in botanical work, and extensive synonymy, indicating the  place of each in the system and given their ISO code as well.  The maps have been drawn as accurately as  possible, but if any conflict should arise between lines drawn on a map and placement according to the  gazetteer, the latter should take precedence. 
  Details of the System 
  Level 1: Continents 
  In general, popular concepts of the continents of the world have been maintained, but with one or two  slight modifications.  Largely to facilitate a convenient two-figure reference system for continents and  regions, the very large continent of Asia has been divided into two parts, temperate and tropical.  The  islands of the west and central Pacific Ocean are numerous and have their own characteristic flora, so they  are given continental status.  The term Australasia, here used for Australia and New Zealand, has been  controversial, some members considering that it implies a fusion of Australia with Asia and thus extends  from Australia as far north as Indo-China, but others never having understood this connotation.  
  xi  W <sub>ORLD </sub> G <sub>EOGRAPHICAL </sub> S <sub>CHEME FOR </sub> R <sub>ECORDING </sub> P <sub>LANT </sub> D <sub>ISTRIBUTIONS</sub>  
  Eventually, because nobody could devise another term to combine Australia with New Zealand,  opponents of the term agreed to its use.  The continents recognised are listed in Table 1. 
  It is peculiar that while traditional concepts of the continents are usually clearly defined, no boundaries  between adjacent continents completely coincide with political boundaries.  The division between Europe  and Asia is straddled by the U.S.S.R. and Turkey; between Europe and Africa by Spain and Portugal;  between Asia and Africa by Egypt and Yemen; between Asia and the Pacific islands by Japan and Papua  New Guinea.  Thus when it came to making a division which is perhaps not clear-cut in popular concept,  that between Northern and Southern America, we opted again to bisect a country, this time Mexico.  The  southeastern states of Mexico are essentially tropical in their vegetation and are included in the  Flora  Mesoamericana  area, unlike the rest of Mexico, and so the continental division has been placed  accordingly. 
  Except for the Pacific, islands have been included with their nearest continental land mass.  The rather  few Atlantic islands have been attached to the Americas to the west or Europe or Africa to the east, and  Bermuda has been placed for convenience into the Caribbean.  It was a moot point whether the Azores  should go into Europe or with the other Macaronesian islands into Africa, the decision narrowly favouring  the latter on phytogeographical grounds.  In the Indian Ocean the western islands could be conveniently  grouped as a region of Africa, the southerly ones placed in the Antarctic, and a rather artificial grouping  of North Indian Ocean has been adopted under Asia for various island groups not really belonging in  either the Indian Subcontinent or Malesia.  In the Pacific, as noted, the many islands of the west and  centre are treated as a continent in their own right, but in the east Pacific the rather few groups extending  from Guadalupe and other Mexican offshore islands through Clipperto, Cocos and Malpelo to the  Galápagos, Desventurados and Juan Fernández, have an essentially New World flora and are therefore  grouped with Northern or Southern Americas. 
  Level 2: Regions 
  In all continents it has been found convenient to make a division into regions.  In some cases these are  commonly recognised natural areas, such as the Arabian Peninsula or the Indian Subcontinent, but in  most cases the regions have been specially circumscribed for this project.  Factors affecting the  circumscription are often largely phytogeograpical or based on existing botanical traditions such as the  areas covered by well known Flora projects (Malesia, East Africa, Mesoamerica etc.).  In some cases,  however, political factors have out-weighed botanical considerations.  It has been found convenient to  maintain the integrity of China (too large to be treated as one “country”) by recognising it as a region,  and, that having been decided, Mongolia, sandwiched between China and U.S.S.R., also has to be treated  as a region.  In Southern America, Brazil, occupying about half the continent, has been maintained as a  region, subdivided into a number of “countries” at Level 3.  A synopsis of the regions recognised,  grouped under continents, is presented in Table 2. 
  The numerical codes for regions are superimposed on the continental numbers by adding a single digit for  the region.  Thus, for example, the continental code for Africa is 2, and the regions of Africa are  numbered 20–29.  Because Asia includes more than ten regions it has been divided into temperate  (regions 30–38) and tropical (regions 40–43) parts. 
  Level 3: Botanical Countries 
  In many standard botanical works, minor political inconveniences such as tiny enclaves of one country in  another have been ignored, while major geographical disjunctions such as major or remote islands have  been emphasised despite their political affiliations.  Thus, for example, in  Flora Europaea  the concept 
  xii  I <sub>NTRODUCTION TO </sub> F <sub>IRST </sub> E <sub>DITION</sub>  
  “Italy” includes two independent political states, San Marino and Vatican City, but excludes the major  islands of Sardegna and Sicilia which are politically part of Italy.  In the present system similar groupings  have been maintained at Level 3.  Where a country is of more or less average size, has a discrete  boundary with no disjunctions, and has no political complications (such as, for example, Switzerland,  Bolivia or Cambodia) it will appear as one unit at this level. 
  Decisions on when to maintain geographically disjunct parts of political countries, such as islands, as  separate units at Level 3 are necessarily subjective and depend on several factors.  Botanical traditions, as  often exemplified in basic Floras such as  Flora Europaea,  Med-Checklist,  Flora Malesiana  etc., have  been followed in many cases.  The distance of the disjunction, the size of the island or group of islands,  and the phytogeographical significance (as reflected for example in numbers of endemic species) are  other factors affecting decisions.  A clear-cut example is the separation of the Canary Islands from the rest  of Spain, which is surely essential from a botanical point of view.  Other decisions, such as whether to  also recognise Selvagens (Salvage Islands) as a unit equivalent to their neighbours the Canary Islands and  Madeira, are more difficult.  Disjunctions not involving islands also occur, such as Cabinda being  separated from the rest of Angola though still part of the Africa mainland. 
  Very large countries present a different kind of problem.  When a country is both too large and too  botanically diverse to be treated as one unit, it has been subdivided along internal political (state or  province) boundaries.  Countries here subdivided for this reason are U.S.S.R., U.S.A., Canada, Mexico,  Brazil, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, India, China and Australia, but they have not all been treated in  the same way.  Sometimes Level 4 units (see next section) have been utilised, but sometimes not.  The  U.S.S.R. has a complex internal political structure, and an ad hoc system has been devised, including  apportionment into five regions divided between two continents as well as numerous units at both Level 3  and Level 4.  In the U.S.A., Canada, South Africa and Australia the average size of one of the states or  provinces is at least about that of an average country of Europe, while at least in North America the flora  is probably equally diverse and equally well documented.  We have, therefore, recognised all of the states  of the U.S.A. and Australia and all the provinces of Canada and South Africa as countries at Level 3,  requiring databases following our system to treat them as equivalent to most political countries elsewhere.   For Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, India and China, where detailed distributions of plants are perhaps  on average not so well known, we have adopted aggregations of constituent states at Level 3 and the  individual states as units at Level 4.  This will allow distributions to be cited in rather broad terms (Level  3) without the necessity of referring to the very many individual states.  It should be emphasised,  however, that where individual plant records are added to a database, the lowest unit should be used  wherever possible. 
  Each Level 3 Botanical Country recognised here has been assigned a unique 3-letter code for use in  concise citation of plant distributions.  These codes have been chosen to be as mnemonic as possible and  usually the first three letters of the name are used.  Where, however, this might be ambiguous, as in  Belgium and Belize or Malawi, Mali, Malta, Maldives and Malaya, we have had to use alternatives.   Subdivisions of the very large countries have often been given a common first 2-letters; for example, all  Level 3 divisions of China start with CH, of Brazil start with BZ etc.  A key to all 3-letter codes is given  in Table 3. 
  Level 4: Basic Recording Units 
  These are the units which can be built up either into higher levels of this system or into political (ISO)  units.  As such they are the essential units by which data can be exchanged between different databases  and individual plant records should always be recorded at this level.  The units are established by the  intersection of the Level 3 units with ISO units.  Wherever a Level 3 unit is politically diverse it must be  broken down into the constituent political units at Level 4.  Where a Level 3 “country” is itself politically 
  xiii  W <sub>ORLD </sub> G <sub>EOGRAPHICAL </sub> S <sub>CHEME FOR </sub> R <sub>ECORDING </sub> P <sub>LANT </sub> D <sub>ISTRIBUTIONS</sub>  
  uniform, and where it is not a subdivision of a very large country which has itself to be broken down into  individual states (see above), the unit is identical at both Level 3 and Level 4.  This is actually the  situation in the majority of cases, and most Botanical Countries are also Basic Recording Units.  The 3-letter code system used for Level 3 units has been extended to distinguish constituent Level 4 units  by a two-letter suffix.  Thus the concept of “Italy” as in  Flora Europaea  is represented by ITA at Level 3,  while at Level 4 San Marino is ITA-SM, the Vatican City is ITA-VC, and the rest of “Italy” is ITA-IT.   Where the unit is identical at Levels 3 and 4, a suffix OO (the letter O, not the number 0) is used where  necessary at Level 4. 
  Political Neutrality 
  TDWG is an international organisation open to people from all nations involved in building or  maintaining taxonomic databases in plant science.  The use of any particular name to refer to a particular  area in this geographical system is intended solely for the purpose of clarity of communication.  It should  not be taken to imply recognition of any government, any political persuasion, or any political boundary.  
  Nomenclature 
  The units have been named following the names given to the areas specified in  The Times Atlas  (8th  edition, 1990), except in the U.S.S.R. where a more abbreviated form of the name has been adopted.   Where different names are given for the same area on different maps in  The Times Atlas , the name most  likely to be familiar internationally has been adopted.  Also following the convention of  The Times Atlas ,  the abbreviation “I” indicates island (singular), and the abbreviation “Is” indicates islands.  The names of  the units follow the names for areas given in the atlas.   The Times Atlas  was chosen, after consultation, as  the most widely available atlas through the world. 
  ISO Standard 3166  was used to define political countries.  The units in the ISO standard are “countries,  dependencies and other areas of special interest for purposes of international exchange, without indicating  expression of opinion whatsoever concerning the legal status of any country or territory or of its  authorities or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers.”  We are grateful to Axel Ermert (DIN, Berlin)  for assistance in some problem areas.  Where a name includes two localities, e.g., “Trinidad and Tobago,” a hyphen has been used in place of  the “and” (Trinidad-Tobago).  This is to avoid confusion if a plant distribution is listed as Trinidad and  Tobago, when it in fact only occurs in Trinidad. 
  It will be apparent from the description of the Level 4 units that the same name may be used in different  systems in quite different circumscriptions.  Thus “Italy” in  Flora Europaea  is different from “Italy” in  the present ISO sense and different again from “Italy” at Level 4 in the present proposal.  This problem  occurs repeatedly around the world, and the committee has failed to find any satisfactory way of  overcoming it by adopting different terms.  Should “Italy mainland” include Elba and would it include  San Marino and Vatican City?  In recognising the problem, we recommend that those recording data must  make it very clear in which context they are using the name.  If necessary, distinctions may be made in a  form such as “Italy (ISO),” “Italy (Flora Europaea)” or “Italy (TDWG).” 
  Occasionally it has been found necessary to coin new terms, usually to indicate groupings of islands.  For  example, four island groups which are politically part of Réunion but occur between Madagascar and  mainland Africa are called Mozambique Channel Is, though this name does not appear in any Atlas.

  Preface to Second Edition  
  The first edition of the  World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions  was published for  the International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases (TDWG) in 1992 as the Plant Taxonomic  Database Standards No. 2 .     It has been somewhat gratifying to the TDWG organisation, and to those who  worked on producing this standard, that it has been welcomed and put into use by a considerable number  of important projects. This second edition has proven necessary to incorporate some political and other  changes.  The major features of the scheme, such as the four levels in the hierarchy, remain the same, and  only some details have been altered. 
  Those who adopt works like this in databases inevitably and rightly hope that when such standards are  established they will be changed as little as possible in future.  The geography standard is perhaps more  susceptible to ongoing changes than most standards adopted in databases, for account must be taken of  the changing world scene with its seemingly inevitable political realignments and often associated  nomenclatural changes.  Similarly, the ISO codes, adopted by the International Standards Organisation  and incorporated into this scheme as an indication of political allegiance, are also subject to continuous  amendment.  Some changes have thus been forced upon us. 
  Furthermore, we were aware in producing the first edition that it was virtually impossible to please  everybody or to get everything right the first time.  Where the committee has been persuaded that  unfortunate decisions were taken in the 1992 publication, we have been faced with the dilemma of  whether to maintain the  status quo  in the interests of stability of the standard or to make changes now so  that things will be more acceptable to users in the future.  Should we doggedly retain an unfortunate  decision in the interests of stability of the standard, or should we bow to justifiable criticism?  While  doing our best to make as few changes as possible in the cause of stability, we have allowed that a small  number of changes have had to be made for sound scientific reasons in addition to the inevitable political  changes.  We hope that users will be able to adapt to these changes, and that this second edition may be  even more acceptable to those who use it. 
  The convenors of the committee responsible for this edition were originally S. Hollis (University of  Southampton) and R.K. Brummitt (Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), but Dr Hollis resigned in  1996 on leaving botany and moving to the Medical Faculty of her university.  Other members of the  committee were M.T. Almeida (University of Coimbra), F.E.M. Cook (Centre for Economic Botany,  Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), P. Dávila (UNAM, Mexico), E. Forero (University of Bogota), N. Gasper  (Santarem), H. Gillett (World Conservation Monitoring Centre, Cambridge), P.M. Kirk (CABI  Bioscience, Egham), J.N. Labat (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris), J.S. Peterson (USDA,  Baton Rouge), Y. Roskov (Komarov Botanical Institute, St. Petersburg) and E. Vitek (Naturhistorisches  Museum, Vienna).  These are the people who considered all potential changes and took the decisions. 
  It is a pleasure for me to record thanks to F. Pando (Madrid) for acting as editor of this second edition and  getting it all to the press.  His careful and patient assistance has been much appreciated.  I am also  indebted to my son, N.A. Brummitt (Department of Geography, University of Edinburgh), who re-keyed  the original data into database form, helped to keep it up to date, oversaw revision of the maps, and  assisted in correcting the final copy.  Sincere thanks are due also to R. Govaerts (Herbarium, Royal  Botanic Gardens, Kew) who meticulously reported necessary up-dates over a period of years.  Thanks  also to M. Jackson (Computing Section, Kew) for assistance in producing the final text, and J. Stone  (Media Resources, Kew) who up-dated the maps.  Others who have contributed valuable information over  the years are A. Anton (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina), D. Boufford (Harvard University),  M.G. Gilbert (Natural History Museum, London), C. Hilton-Taylor (IUCN, Cambridge), J. McNeill  (Toronto and Edinburgh), H. Ohashi (Tohôku University, Sendai), F. Pando (Real Jardín Botánico,

  Changes in Second Edition 
  Some explanation of the changes from the first edition made in this second edition is given below.  The  Millennium Edition of  The Times Atlas of the World  appeared after most of our decisions had been taken,  and could not be taken into major account in questions of nomenclature of geographical and political  units.  
  11   Middle Europe <sub> </sub>
  The political separation of Czech Republic and Slovakia requires recognition.  Since  Flora Europaea   recognises only Czechoslovakia, this remains at level-3, but it is divided at level-4 into Czech Republic  CZE-CZ and Slovakia CZE-SL. 
  13   Southeastern Europe <sub> </sub>
  The political break-up of the former concept of Yugoslavia also requires appropriate changes.  As in the  case of Czechoslovakia above, the broad concept as treated in  Flora Europaea  remains at level-3, as  Yugoslavia, but this is divided at level-4 into Bosnia-Herzegovina YUG-BH, Croatia YUG-CR, Kosovo  YUG-KO, Macedonia YUG-MA, Montenegro YUG-MN, Serbia YUG-SE and Slovenia YUG-SL. 
  14   Eastern Europe <sub> </sub>
  The region is named Eastern Europe rather than East Europe, to bring the name in line with region names  used elsewhere. <sub> </sub>
  The political break-up of the former U.S.S.R. necessitates some changes, but perhaps not as many as  might have been expected since many of the new political units had already been recognised in our first  edition.  In naming units, we follow the principle that for those which coincide with political countries we  use an anglicised version (for example Germany, not Deutschland), but for political units lower than  country level we adopt the name used in the country concerned (Kriti, not Crete).  With their political  independence established, we now therefore adopt the names Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and  Ukraine.  See also 33 Caucasus, below. <sub> </sub>
  Since Russia is now seen to extend well into Asia, the former Russia Central is re-named as Central  European Russia, Russia East as East European Russia, Russia North as North European Russia, Russia  South as South European Russia and Russia Northwest as Northwest European Russia. <sub> </sub>
  The western part of Kazakhstan was included in Europe in  Flora Europaea , and this was followed in the  first edition of the TDWG project.  However, the exact demarcation of the boundary in the maps for  edition 1 has been queried, and it contravenes the principle of this system that all boundaries should be  either political (at national or province levels) or coastlines.  After discussion, the committee decided that  it would be preferable to exclude all of Kazakhstan from Europe, thus emphasising the political  boundaries by which data are usually recorded.  The unit Western Kazakhstan has therefore been  abandoned and is here included in Kazakhstan in Middle Asia. <sub> </sub>
  An error in Map 5 in the previous edition, where the Ivanovo oblast was mislabeled as Vladimir while the  true Vladimir oblast was included in Nizhy Novgorod, has been corrected.

  20   Northern Africa <sub> </sub>
  In ed. 1, under level-3 Morocco, the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla were given separate status as  two level-4 units MOR-CE and MOR-ME, but three further Spanish enclaves on the north coast, Islas  Chafarinas, Peñon de Veléz de la Gomera and Peñon de Alhucemas, were overlooked.  Rather than  recognise five level-4 units we have combined them as one, called Spanish North African Territories  MOR-SP.  
  23   West-Central Tropical Africa <sub> </sub> The name Zaïre is retained in favour  24   Northeast Tropical Africa <sub> </sub>
  The name Zaïre is retained in favour of Congo to avoid confusion with Congo (Brazzaville). 
  The newly independent Eritrea is separated from Ethiopia.  There was a possibility of including it under  Ethiopia at level-3 and recognising it only at level-4 (c.f. Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia above), but  hitherto there have been very few level-4 units in Africa and it seems better to have this new one as level- 3 Eritrea ERI. 
  27   Southern Africa <sub> </sub>
  The former South African enclave of Walvis Bay has now become a part of Namibia, and the need for  level-4 units under Namibia has disappeared. <sub> </sub>
  The new internal political units of South Africa are recognised.  The former Transvaal is renamed  Northern Provinces TVL and is subdivided at level-4 into Northern Province TVL-NP, North-West  Province TVL-NW (including the northeast corner of the former Cape Province), Gauteng TVL-GA and  Mpumalanga TVL-MP.  The former Orange Free State is renamed Free State OFS.  The former Natal,  excluding a small enclave in the south which is now part of the Eastern Cape, is renamed KwaZulu-Natal  NAT.  The former Cape Province is renamed Cape Provinces CPP, and is subdivided at level-4 into  Northern Cape Province CPP-NC (excluding the former northeast corner which is now in the North-West  Province), Eastern Cape Province CPP-EC (including the small enclave in southern KwaZulu-Natal) and  Western Cape Province CPP-WC.  The new provinces are shown in modern atlases and in the Instructions  to Contributors in the journal  Bothalia,  as for example  Bothalia  27(2): 233 (1997). 
  31   Russian Far East   This region, formerly ca 32   Middle Asia  
  This region, formerly called Soviet Far East, is renamed in the light of political changes.   32   Middle Asia   This region, formerly called Soviet Middle Asia, is renamed for the same reason. <sub> </sub>
  As noted under region 14 above, West Kazakhstan is now included in Kazakhstan in Middle Asia instead  of being included in Europe.

  33   Caucasus <sub> </sub>
  At level-4, the unit Checheno-Ingushetiya NCS-CI is split into two units, Chechnya NCS-CH and  Ingushetiya NCS-IN to reflect the present political status. <sub> </sub> Following from the reasons already stated under 14 Eastern Europe, Armeniya and Azerbaydzhan are re- spelled Armenia and Azerbaijan respectively.  However, the spelling Gruziya is retained instead of  Georgia to avoid confusion with Georgia which is recognised at level-3 in 78 Southeastern U.S.A. 
  36   China <sub> </sub>
  The level-3 unit Tibet-Qinghai has been found to be unsatisfactory and is divided into two level-3 units to  be called Tibet CHT and Qinghai CHQ (see also comments on names of units under 50 Australia below). <sub> </sub>
  Ed. 1 omitted to mention three city states, Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin, which do not fall into any  province.  These are now recognised at level-4 alongside all the provinces.  Also included for the first  time is a new province of China, Chongqing, which was formerly included politically and in this system  in Sichuan.  It falls in China South-Central, and now appears at level-4 as CHC-CQ.  Details of the new  province may be found on the internet at http://www.cq.gov.cn/text/chongqing/cqjje/htm, including a  map.  The two-letter codes for provinces and states at level-4 have been brought into line with those used  in the Flora of China project, necessitating numerous changes (see table below). 
  38   Eastern Asia <sub> </sub>
  The island groups of Kazan-retto (Volcano Is.) and Ogasawara-shoto (Bonin Is.) were formerly included  in the Pacific continent.  They have many endemic plants, which show their floristic affinity to be with  Eastern Asia rather than the Pacific, and they are now moved accordingly in the system.  The same does  not apply to another Japanese island, Marcus I., which is a low island with floristic affinity with other  similar Pacific islands, and it is accordingly retained in the Pacific continent. <sub> </sub> In view of the wide variation of the Japanese flora from alpine in the north to tropical in the south, the  level-3 unit Japan JAP is divided into four level-4 units corresponding with the major islands: Hokkaido  JAP-HK, Honshu JAP-HN, Shikoku JAP-SH and Kyushu JAP-KY. 
  40   Indian Subcontinent <sub> </sub>
  Three new states were created by the Indian Parliament in 2000.  The Himalayan districts formerly in  Uttar Pradesh — Pauri Garhwal, Tehri Garhwal, Uttar Kashi, Chamoli, Dehra Dun, Nainital, Almora,  Pithoragarh, Udham Singh Nagar, Bageshwar, Champawat, Rudraprayag, and Hardwar — now constitute  the state of Uttaranchal.  The more southerly districts of Bihar — Bokaro, Chatra, Deogarh, Dhanbad,  Dumka, Garhwa, Giridh, Godda, Gumla, Hazaribagh, Kodarma, Lohardaga, Pakur, Palamau, Ranchi,  Sahebganj, Singhbhum east and Singhbhum west — now form the state of Jharkhand.  The south-easterly  districts of Madhya Pradesh — Bastar, Bilaspur, Dantewada, Dhamtari, Durg, Janjgir-Champa, Jashpur,  Kanker, Kawardha, Korba, Koriya, Mahasamund, Raigarh, Raipur, Rajnandgaon, and Surguja — now  make up the state of Chattisgarh.  The first of these political changes facilitates a recircumscription of the  level-3 units in our system. <sub> </sub>
  Users have expressed a need to make a better separation between the Himalaya and the rest of the Indian  subcontinent.  In particular, plant distributions become much more meaningful if the Himalayan part of  the former Uttar Pradesh state comprising Garhwal and Kumaon, now forming the state of Uttaranchal, is 
  5  W <sub>ORLD </sub> G <sub>EOGRAPHICAL </sub> S <sub>CHEME FOR </sub> R <sub>ECORDING </sub> P <sub>LANT </sub> D <sub>ISTRIBUTIONS</sub>  
  taken out of the former level-3 unit called India.  By recognising this as a unit outside the level-3 unit of  India, and by adjustments to the placement of Himachal Pradesh, Darjiling District (of West Bengal state)  and Arunachal Pradesh, the whole Himalayan flora can be separated from that of the rest of India.  At the  same time the recognition of too many units of the Himalaya at level-3 would create an even bigger  imbalance in size between the existing level-3 units of this region, and some aggregation seems desirable.   After discussion with Indian botanists and others who work in the area, the following arrangement has  been agreed, hopefully giving a greatly improved phytogeographical significance without abandoning the  principle of following politically recognised boundaries. <sub> </sub>
  A new level-3 unit called West Himalaya WHM has been created to include three level-4 units Jammu- Kashmir WHM-JK, Himachal Pradesh WHM-HP and Uttaranchal WHM-UT.  Nepal remains at level-3.   A new level-3 unit called East Himalaya EHM has been created to include four level-4 units Sikkim  EHM-SI, Bhutan EHM-BH, Darjiling EHM-DJ and Arunachal Pradesh EHM-AP.  This new unit of East  Himalaya, with its four subdivisions, corresponds exactly with the units recognised in the  Flora of East  Himalaya  by H. Hara and H. Ohashi, 1955–1975.  The former level-3 unit Assam remains, comprising  Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura, but with the exclusion of Arunachal Pradesh.   This new circumscription of Assam makes it correspond better with popular usage of the name.  We are  indebted to B.M. Wadhwa for much advice on the Himalayan units and the new Indian states. 
  42   Malesia <sub> </sub>
  The level-3 unit Moluccas is renamed Maluku in line with usage within Indonesia.  <sub> </sub>
  In ed. 1, New Guinea NWG and Bismarck Archipelago BIS were included in Malesia.  It has been argued  strongly that it makes much more floristic sense to link these two units to the Solomon Islands, previously  included in 60 Southwestern Pacific but without strong floristic affinity there.  A new region  Papuasia  is  therefore newly recognised to incorporate these three level-3 units.  This permits a much better  phytogeographical analysis of the region. 
  (43   North Indian Ocean) <sub> </sub>
  This region lacked any floristic cohesion and has been disbanded.  The level-3 unit Chagos Archipelago  CGS is transferred to 29 Western Indian Ocean.  The Laccadive Is. LDV and Maldives MDV are  transferred to region 40 Indian Subcontinent.  The Andaman Is. AND and Nicobar Is. NCB are  transferred to region 41 Indo-China.  The Cocos (Keeling) Is. CKS are transferred to region 42 Malesia. 
  43   Papuasia <sub> </sub> See discussion  and Solomon Is 50   Australia 
  See discussion under 42 Malesia above.  This new region comprising Bismarck Archipelago, New Guinea  and Solomon Is. makes a floristic unit giving greater phytogeographical precision. 
  Double-barrelled names of units cause ambiguity in texts.  If a distribution is given as “Trinidad and  Tobago,” it sounds as if the plant must necessarily occur in both parts, which may not always be so.  In  this example, the name is a politically used name and the problem cannot be easily overcome.  In other  cases efforts have been made to eliminate such double names.  The unit named Lord Howe-Norfolk in ed.  1 has seemed particularly clumsy and is now renamed Norfolk Is. (plural) with constituent parts Norfolk 
  6  C <sub>HANGES IN </sub> S <sub>ECOND </sub> E <sub>DITION</sub>  
  I. (singular) and Lord Howe I.  Other double names elsewhere in the system in ed. 1, such as Bhutan- Sikkim and Tibet-Qinghai, have been eliminated by other means.  60   Southwestern Pacific <sub> </sub> The Solomon Is. SOL are transferred to the new region of Papuasia (see discussion under 42 Malesia  above). <sub> </sub>
  60   Southwestern Pacific <sub> </sub>
  The level-4 unit Tokelau Is. is renamed Tokelau, the political name for the group.  <sub> </sub>
  Western Samoa is now named Samoa.   62   Northwestern Pacific <sub> </sub> Kazan-retto (Volcano Is.) KZN and Og 70   Subarctic America  
  Kazan-retto (Volcano Is.) KZN and Ogasawara-shoto (Bonin Is.) OGA are transferred to Eastern Asia. 
  The Canadian government has recently recognised a new province of Nunavut.  This takes in the whole of  the previous Keewatin and parts of Mackenzie and Franklin, and also the Belcher Is. in southern  Hudson’s Bay.  Details can be found on the internet at http://www.npc.nunavut.ca/eng/nunavut/ with a  map.  The new unit Nunavut is here recognised at level-3, alongside a re-circumscribed Northwest  Territories.  
  79   Mexico and 80 Central America <sub> </sub>
  The decision taken in the first edition to split Mexico between two regions and even two continents,  which enabled us to maintain the area of  Flora Mesoamericana  intact as region 80 Mesoamerica, has  proven very unpopular, especially with Mexican botanists.  Records in some databases just given as  Mexico could not be placed at all.  Rather than persist with an unpopular decision, it has been agreed to  reorganise.  The level-3 unit Mexico Southeast, comprising the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana  Roo, Tabasco and Yucatán, is transferred from region 80 Mesoamerica (in the continent Southern  America) to region 79 (in the continent of Northern America), with the code MXT (for Mexico ‘Tropical’  since MXS and MXE are both used for other level-3 units).  Region 79 becomes just Mexico, while  region 80 is renamed Central America rather than Mesoamerica. 
  82   Northern South America 
  Edition 1 was inconsistent in its spelling of Suriname, sometimes given as Surinam.  The former spelling  is adopted here in agreement with  The Times Atlas.  
  84   Brazil <sub> </sub>
  The states of Brazil are all recognised at level-4 and so are given a two-letter suffix code after the code of  their appropriate level-3 unit.  It has been pointed out that it is confusing to have the same two-letter  suffix for different states, such as MG for both Minas Gerais under Brazil Southeast and Mato Grosso  under Brazil West-Central.  It has been further pointed out that within Brazil there are standard two-letter  abbreviations recognised for every state, and in the large majority of cases these coincide with the two- letter suffixes we have adopted.  There seems to be considerable advantage in making the official 
  7  W <sub>ORLD </sub> G <sub>EOGRAPHICAL </sub> S <sub>CHEME FOR </sub> R <sub>ECORDING </sub> P <sub>LANT </sub> D <sub>ISTRIBUTIONS</sub>  
  abbreviations the same as our two-letter suffixes, and this has been done.  This will require our suffixes to  change as follows: 
  Amapá  from MP to AP  Amazonas  from MZ to AM  Mato Grosso  from MG to MT  Pará  from PR to PA  Rondônia  from RN to RO  Tocantins  from TC to TO 
  85   Southern South America <sub> </sub>
  Chile was divided into two level-3 units, Chile North CLN and Chile South CLS.  It has been suggested  that a better break-down can be achieved by dividing the country into three level-3units, and after  consultation with botanists in the area this has been done.  The revised Chile North CLN comprises only  the provinces Antofagasta, Atacama and Tarapacá; the new Chile Central CLC comprises the provinces  Biobío, Coquimbo, Maule, O’Higgins, Santiago, Valparaíso and La Araucania; and the revised Chile  South CLS comprises the provinces Aisén, Los Lagos and Magallanes.  The slightly amended spelling  Biobío is adopted following the current  Flora de Chile , though three other variants are given in  The Times  Atlas.   The Chilean part of Tierra del Fuego was previously recognised as distinct from the rest of  Magellanes Province at level-4, but since it has no political status (unlike the Argentinian part of the  island) this has been discontinued. 
  90   Subantarctic Islands <sub> </sub>
  The spelling Tristan de Cunha has been corrected to Tristan da Cunha.

  Synopsis of changes between First and Second Editions 
  The following table specifies all the changes required by users in adopting the second edition in place of  the first edition.  Six different sorts of change are noted and are identified for each unit affected by use of  prefixed letters A, B, C, D, N, and T.  Names not prefixed by these letters remain unchanged and are  included only to indicate the position of other units in the hierarchy.  The six prefixed letters are used in  the following way. 
  
  A  Additional unit.  Applied to units not recognised in ed. 1. 
  B  Boundary change.  Applied where the circumscription of the unit is different from that in ed. 1.  Such changes may result from new positioning of lower units already recognised in ed. 1, or  from adoption of completely new boundaries.  Explanation of the change is given briefly in  the ‘Notes’ column. 
  C  Change of TDWG code. 
  D  Deleted unit.  Applied to units used in ed. 1 but not in ed. 2. 
  N  Name change.  Applied where a name is changed but the unit remains otherwise the same  (unless indicated to the contrary by another prefixed letter).  T  Transferred.  Applied where the circumscription of the unit remains the same but it is moved to  a different position in the overall hierarchy.  Names and codes used in this edition are given without brackets, while those used in ed. 1 but not this  edition are given in brackets.  Note also that the abbreviations I for Island, Is for Islands and St for Saint are now given with full-stops  following them (I., Is. and St.).

  67  Table 6. Gazetteer 
  The following Gazetteer includes all names accepted at Levels-3 and -4, together with many synonyms  and names of other geographical entities, indicating where they should be placed in the system. 
  Accepted names at Levels-3 and -4 are given in CAPITALS; names not accepted are given in lower case.   The sign = indicates that the preceding name is a synonym of the following name.  The sign &lt; indicates  that the preceding unit is part of the following one.  A two-part code follows the name.  The first part is  numeric and indicates the continent and region (see Table 2) to which the unit concerned is referred.  The  second part is alphabetic and indicates the three-letter Level-3 code (see Table 3) followed by the two- letter Level-4 code.  The two-letter ISO code which indicates the political position of the unit concerned  is given in square brackets [ ] (see Table 5).  For units (at Level-3) including areas of different political  affiliations, no ISO code is given. 
  The gazetteer is not intended to be comprehensive, but many names which are likely to be encountered in  botanical work have been included.  Particular attention has been given to islands with a view to defining  as accurately as possible the limits of the units recognised.
