Plants of the World Online
Plants of the World Online is a recognised reliable source for plant distribution range maps. The distribution information is available underneath the map itself and uses the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Please add these locations to both the map and the categories (as described in geographical scheme in the Categories section). Other reliable sources may offer more granular distribution and can be used to refine range maps, e.g if the plant is endemic to a single island within an island chain.

Map templates
These map templates correspond to the different maps shown on Plants of the World Online, please chose the one thats right for the species you've chosen then copy and paste it into the speciesbox. An example is provided before the code to demonstrate it in an article.

The code should be pasted into the infobox/speciesbox at the end, just before the closing brackets }}.The QIDs (e.g. Q23334) are added in where the code says Q?, Q? you can add as many QIDs as needed, simply maintain the Q?, Q? format (a comma and space between each QID)

| range_map_caption = Distribution | range_map = [{"type":"ExternalData","service":"geoshape","ids":" Q?, Q? ","properties":{"title":"native","fill":"#6bbc46","stroke-width":0,"description":""}}]
