Abstract

Taxonomic is one of the oldest and basic scientific work on living organisms. This basic research is the foundation for all modern fields of research. Taxonomic research has generated huge amount of knowledge in India which unfortunately is scattered and unorganised largely due to lack of coordination between different scientific government and non-government organisations. This paper highlights the value of taxonomic information, problems faced in accessing the information and proposes the need for the development of an Integrated Plant Taxonomic Information System (IPTIS) at national level to meet the growing needs of taxonomic information.
