Floristic knowledge and georeferenced information about vascular plant species distribution in southern Tuscany (Italy) are still poor for supporting effective biodiversity conservation efforts.
A dataset of georeferenced floristic collections from Southern Tuscany, which was developed by the first author between 1989 and 2024, is provided and briefly commented on. The dataset includes data for 4535 herbarium specimens, mostly unpublished, currently preserved in the Herbarium Centrale Italicum at the Natural History Museum of Florence (FI). The specimens belong to 1766 species and subspecies in 122 families of vascular plants. Each record is associated with a Unique Identifier (UID) and information on the collection locality, date, collector(s), and geographical coordinates (WGS84 geodetic datum). Many specimens were collected in areas that were poorly investigated, documenting new sites for several uncommon or phytogeographically relevant taxa. The dataset includes two specimens of Geltman, a forest herb endemic to Southern Italy and new to the flora of Tuscany. Overall, this dataset allows a relevant advancement in the floristic knowledge of central Italy.
在意大利托斯卡纳南部，关于维管植物物种分布的植物区系知识和地理参考信息仍然匮乏，无法有效支持生物多样性保护工作。
提供并简要评论了由第一作者在1989年至2024年间编制的托斯卡纳南部地理参考植物区系数据集。该数据集包含4535份标本馆标本的数据，大部分未发表，目前保存在佛罗伦萨自然历史博物馆的意大利中部标本馆（FI）。这些标本属于维管植物122科的1766个物种和亚种。每条记录都与一个唯一标识符（UID）以及关于采集地点、日期、采集者和地理坐标（WGS84大地基准）的信息相关联。许多标本是在调查不足的地区采集的，记录了几个罕见或植物地理学相关分类群的新地点。该数据集包括两份Geltman标本，这是一种意大利南部特有的森林草本植物，也是托斯卡纳植物区系的新成员。总体而言，该数据集使意大利中部的植物区系知识有了显著进展。
