The document discusses possibilities for achieving the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation Target 1 of creating an online flora of all known plant species by 2020. It outlines goals of gathering stakeholders to discuss procedures and organization. Key points addressed are triaging existing data sources, refining data, components needed for an online flora, and administration and contributors required. The deadline of 2020 poses a challenge to work with existing knowledge rather than conducting new biology or taxonomy work.
