Taxonomy Depth Pyramid

Florilegium captures phytochemical evidence across multiple taxonomic depths, enabling analyses from broad phylogenetic patterns to species-specific chemical fingerprints.

Top Phyla by Number of Species

Although Florilegium spans seven plant phyla, over 96% of curated phytochemical knowledge is concentrated within a single phylum, highlighting the limited resolution of phylum-level summaries and motivating finer-grained taxonomic analyses as has been done in the paper
