The International Plant Names Index: Get the IPNI toolbar

IPNI Toolbar Buttons

We've added some handy toolbar buttons to add to your browser to help you get straight to the IPNI record you want - whether by ID, or by name. Just drag the appropriate links up to your browser's tool bar to install them. Please note that these require JavaScript to work.

If the buttons don't appear in Internet Explorer, check that the Links Toolbar is selected by clicking on View > Toolbars. 'Links' should be checked. Also, make sure that the toolbar is unlocked. In the same menu, View > Toolbars, 'Lock the Toolbars' should NOT be checked. The Links tab on the Toolbar can be dragged to the left so that the installed toolbar buttons are permanently visible.
