Australian Biological Resources Study

Compiled by five Northern Territory botanists, this Atlas provides distribution maps and information for the vascular rainforest plants found in the top end of the Northern Territory. The Atlas brings together information from 21 187 rainforest voucher specimens lodged in the Northern Territory Herbarium and from 58 783 records from 1245 rainforest sites in the top end of the Northern Territory.

Distribution maps for 585 native and 19 naturalised taxa are presented. Each map indicates whether a locality was derived from herbarium data or rainforest survey data. The maps also include coded information on life form, the frequency of occurrence, endemism, reservation status and, where relevant, conservation status.

There is a comprehensive table indicating the distribution of taxa in the Northern Territory and whether they are endemic. This information is also given for four other Australian regions and 10 extra-Australian regions.

Appendices list each taxon with Northern Territory Herbarium accession number for selected reference specimens. References used in compiling the distribution data are given, and relevant nomenclatural information is given where necessary.
