DESCRIPTION:Species diversity is unequally distributed across 
 the globe. Although plants do not account for the 
 lion's share of this diversity\, they are of funda
 mental economic and ecological importance. Numerou
 s interactions link the spatial patterns of plant 
 species richness to those of overall biodiversity\
 , thus making them an ideal indicator group. Mappi
 ng of plant diversity therefore offers a way to co
 ncisely display these complex biogeographical data
  and macroeogical analyses allow for inferences on
  the underlying mechanisms. I will present work do
 ne at the Nees Institute\, University of Bonn in m
 apping plant diversity on continental and global s
 cales. This includes maps of major land plant line
 ages like flowering plants\, ferns and mosses\, as
  well as more specialized groups like cacti and ca
 rnivorous plants.
