This list is a product of the "Manual de Plantas de Costa Rica" project and of a close collaboration between the Missouri Botanical Garden (MO), the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBio) and the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica (CR), with the financial support of the United States National Science Foundation (NSF).

It is based on the identification of approximately 100,000 collections accumulated since the project began in1987 until the present (April 2001). In general, these identifications have been done thanks to the collaboration of specialists from the United States, Costa Rica and numerous other countries.

Each family has at least one color photograph associated as well as allowing you to arrive at the genera and species currently with specimens on the database. Information about the specimens and a map of the species' distribution in Costa Rica is also associated.
