Statistics

The Plant List includes 666 scientific plant names of species rank for the genus Scleria. Of these 253 are accepted species names.

The Plant List includes a further 149 scientific plant names of infraspecific rank for the genus Scleria. We do not intend The Plant List to be complete for names of infraspecific rank. These are primarily included because names of species rank are synonyms of accepted infraspecific names.
