Template:eFloras

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template creates a citation of a taxon treatment in the floras and other resources on the web site eFloras. The most commonly cited resources are the Flora of North America (FNA) and the Flora of China (FoC). See the table below for a full list.

Usage

The first three parameters are the flora id, the taxon id, and the taxon name. For the Flora of North America and the Flora of China, the taxon id and taxon name can be omitted if they can be retrieved from Wikidata, but the authors and volume number should always be added.

In order to use the template, copy the link, and remove everything from it except for the two numbers. Place them in parameters 1 and 2.

The taxon name (parameter 3) is required if it is different from the taxon name on Wikidata or the page title. Do not italicize the taxon name; italics are automatically added if necessary by Module:eFloras. Taxonomic authorities should not be included: Caltha palustris, not Caltha palustris Linnaeus.

• http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=200007551
• {{eFloras|1|200007551|Caltha palustris}}

To link to the treatment on the species in the current article in Flora of North America or Flora of China, just add the flora id (|1=) – 1 (Flora of North America) or 2 (Flora of China) – and the template will look up the taxon id in Wikidata. For example, on the page for Pinus contorta, {{eFloras|1}} is the same as {{eFloras|1|233500927}}.

Authors of treatments in the Flora of North America and the Flora of China should be added, using the author-related parameters of {{citation}} (see Template:Citation/doc § Authors). If authors are not listed in the treatment of one taxon, go to the page for the next highest taxon. Usually the authors of species treatments are listed on the page for the genus, tribe, or family. For instance, in the Flora of North America, the author of the treatment of the species Prunus virginiana is found in the treatment of the genus Prunus; in the Flora of China, the authors of the treatment of Rudbeckia hirta are found in the treatment of Asteraceae tribe Heliantheae.

• One author:

{{eFloras||||first= |last= |access-date=17 April 2026}}

• Up to five authors:

{{eFloras||||first1= |last1= |first2= |last2= |first3= |last3= |first4= |last4= |first5= |last5= |access-date=17 April 2026}}

There are three ways to add the volume number. You can add it directly in the |volume= parameter, add the family in the parameter |family= for taxa in the Floras of North America, China, and Chile, or add the tribe in |tribe= for taxa in Asteraceae in the Flora of North America. The family or tribe is passed to Module:eFloras and the module returns the volume number (or range of volumes).

For the Flora of North America, the date of publication will be added based on the volume number.

By default, Citation Style 1 is used. Switch to Citation Style 2 using |mode=cs2.
