'''Flora-On''' is a portal coordinated by the [[Portuguese Botanical Society]] containing photographic, geographical, morphological and ecological information for all [[Vascular plant|vascular]] plant species in [[Portugal]] (both in the [[mainland Portugal|mainland]], [[Azores]] and [[Madeira]]).
The portal was created in 2012 by a group of young biologists within the Faculty of Sciences of the [[University of Lisbon]] and has been in constant development since. Work is voluntarily done by botanists, naturalists and researchers.<ref>{{cite web |title="Flora-On": está aí e é para todos |url=https://ciencias.ulisboa.pt/pt/noticia/25-01-2013/%E2%80%9Cflora-on%E2%80%9D-est%C3%A1-a%C3%AD-e-%C3%A9-para-todos |publisher=[[Lisbon University]] |access-date=26 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Flora-On |url=https://www.100milarvores.pt/2013/08/flora-on.html |publisher=100milarvores.pt |access-date=26 January 2021}}</ref> The project does not depend on or receive funding from any institution or company and is purely based on volunteer work.<ref name="flora-on">{{cite web |title=O projeto Flora-On |url=https://flora-on.pt/sobre.html |publisher=Flora-on |access-date=26 January 2021}}</ref>
The main aim of the project is to provide the specialized and non-specialized public with free, simple and intuitive access to scientific information on plants that occur in Portugal.<ref name="flora-on" />
Plants are classified through various criteria: taxa, [[Morphology (biology)|morfological characteristics]], [[endemism]], abundance, time of [[floration]], geographical location (by grid, [[municipalities of Portugal|municipalities]], [[Protected areas of Portugal|Protected areas]], etc...), some by [[conservation status]].<ref name="flora-on" />
For each species or subspecies, there are bioclimatic graphs that apply hardiness, precipitation, thermicity, altitude, continentality, ombrothermic index, among others.<ref name="flora-on" /> A link to [[Flora Iberica]]'s article for the designated taxon is also provided for further, in depth morphological description.<ref name="flora-on" />
