The following categorization scheme is the result of a project to have our flora geographic categories follow the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions :
Brummitt, R. K. (2001). World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions: Edition 2 (PDF) . Biodiversity Information Standards—TDWG . Archived from the original (PDF) on 2016-01-25. Retrieved 2016-04-06 .
WGSRPD botanical continents
Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants/Template#Categories for advice: "Try to limit the number of categories with common sense and judicious use of regional categories: a species found across Europe except for two or three countries is still accurately put simply in Category:Flora of Europe . "
If then place it only in those top level geography categories and exclude it from child categories of those.
If then place it only in those regional geography categories and exclude it from child categories of those. However, if the distribution extends just beyond the regional category's demarcation, a few additional categories may be required (e.g. some species occur in the Southeastern United States but also occur in Texas, so it would be categorized in both the regional Southeastern United States category and the Flora of Texas category).
If then choose the categories that are among the finest scale (states, provinces, and smaller countries. Species endemic to a state, province, or smaller country (those not subdivided) should only be categorized in these but the finest scale of categories is not restricted to endemic species.
What taxa do I include in these categories?
Each category should describe its geographical circumscription (boundaries) and also note that it is limited to flora that are native (not naturalized, introduced, or invasive) in that region. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included (species, subspecies, varieties). Higher taxa are included only if endemic (for example, a genus endemic to Western Australia could have the genus article itself included in that category). In the case of monotypic taxa, redirects should be categorized in exactly the same way.
Important differences from the usual geographical definitions
To link to explanations of the WGSRPD definitions, the following can be used:
Northern Europe
Central Europe
Called Middle Europe rather than Central Europe in WGSRPD.
Southwestern Europe
Southeastern Europe
Note that the WGSRPD does not include the eastern Aegean islands in Europe.

(green) Eastern Europe: Belarus, Estonia, Kaliningrad, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Crimea, Moldova (not shown)

East Asia
Note that the WGSRPD Eastern Asia is very different from the usual meaning of "East Asia", being a much smaller region.
Called Asia-Tropical
The Indian subcontinent:

(pink) West Himalaya
(orange) Nepal
(red) East Himalaya
(green) India
(blue) Bangladesh
(violet) Assam (region)
(brown) Sri Lanka
Oval: Laccadive Islands (Lakshadweep) Indo-China
Malesia
Papuasia
Note that Australasia is limited to Australia and New Zealand, plus outlying islands, and thus differs from most geographical schemes, which include many more areas.
Australasia, consisting of Australia (darker green) and New Zealand (lighter green) Pacific botanical continent
