==Description== IPNI is the product of a collaboration between The [[Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew]] ([[Index Kewensis]]), The [[Harvard University Herbaria]] (Gray Herbarium Index), and the [[Australian National Herbarium]] ([[Australian Plant Name Index|APNI]]). The IPNI database is a collection of the names registered by the three cooperating institutions and they work towards standardizing the information. The standard of author abbreviations recommended by the ''[[International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants]]'' is Brummitt and Powell's ''[[Authors of Plant Names]]''. A digital and continually updated list of authors and abbreviations can be consulted online at IPNI. The IPNI provides names that have appeared in scholarly publications, with the objective of providing an index of published names rather than prescribing the accepted [[botanical nomenclature]].<ref name=IPNI-schol-publ/>
