Almost a quarter of a million records of proteas

Note that the alien invader is the nineth most common protea!

These data are from almost 60 thousand localities

Although less than 500 atlassers contributed to the project, when one takes into account their walking companions, the fact that some atlassers were teams, and the fact that mountain and hiking clubs, and botanical and other socieites went on expiditions to look for proteas, we had well over 1000 participants who collected data. Nevermind, all those who helped in other ways, including farmers, land owners, flower show exibitors and others.

Over 250 hybrids - more than 100 of which are new to science.

Almost 1800 common names to proteas, most of which had never been compiled before.

And a lot more, in terms of alerting authorities to problems (e.g. Protea odorata), contributing data, etc.
