I think this article should be deleted. I doubt this article will expand much. A link to the website should sufice. I'll leave the discussion here for a while before an Afd. --Pfafrich 11:35, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- On the contrary. This page exists in order to make a link to it, each time the Flora Europaea database is being mentioned in a botanical article. Otherwise, each time an explanation, short as it may be, has to be given to explain what Flora Europaea is. And there is no need to lengthen this article, unless you're a candidate to do so.

Maybe its better as a Category [:Category:Flora Europaea] or [:Category:European Flora]. That way the link works both ways and it's easy to find which plants are mentioned in the Flora. I'd probably go for the latter, plants native to europe is a little more useful than plants in a book listing plants in europe. --Pfafrich 16:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

- We're not talking here about a list of European plants, but about a huge database at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. JoJan 17:36, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
It seems that to do this properly would be a mamoth task, I guess there 10,000+ species mentioned in FE. Futhermore it is but one of many databases. The UDSA Plants Database is much more widly known, then there Flora of North America, or even the one I run Plants For A Future database. It might even be useful to a direct reference to the plant in question http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/feout?GENUS_XREF=Salix rather than just to the reference work. --Pfafrich 20:09, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
