The Florilegium

In medieval scholarship, a florilegium was a personal notebook of carefully chosen excerpts; "flowers" gathered from books. We have reimagined this practice for the age of artificial intelligence, transforming scattered phytochemical observations from literature into structured evidence-linked knowledge graphs. Just as a classical florilegium allowed readers to move between ideas across texts, Florilegium Phytochemistry enables seamless movement across biological entities, chemical knowledge, and published evidence.

The Florilegium Phytochemistry

This is a FAIR-compliant, evidence-linked knowledge florilegium that represents phytochemical information as species-chemistry-DOI triplets extracted from the scientific literature. Organized as an interactive knowledge graph, the resource enables dynamic exploration of phytochemical patterns encoded in the literature, while ensuring findability, interoperability, and reuse through standardized identifiers and persistent links to primary publications. It is designed to support biodiversity research, natural product discovery, chemotaxonomy, and AI-driven knowledge synthesis by preserving explicit links between phytochemicals, their biological source, and published evidence.
