# IsoGentiX Flora Portal > The IsoGentiX Flora Portal (https://portal.isogentix.com/) is the data product of IsoGentiX Ltd (England): national plant checklists for Madagascar and nine other floras, reconciled to the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (Kew), with endemism, IUCN Red List status, CITES listing, occurrence records, specimen custody and images linked to their sources. Contact: info@isogentix.com. The portal itself is a JavaScript application: browsing species, maps and site queries needs free registration. The pages and feeds below are readable without signing in, as plain HTML or JSON. Figures are live; this file deliberately carries none, so read them from the feed or the dataset pages. ## Live figures - [Headline counts (JSON)](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/counts): live figures for Madagascar and totals for every flora. Includes `generated_at`, a `definitions` object (the portal's own one-sentence definition of each figure), `added_by_country` (species, endemic and Critically Endangered per flora; Critically Endangered is null where a flora has no IUCN assessments loaded), and licence fields. Cached for 15 minutes. ## Public API and MCP server (no sign-in) - [OpenAPI document](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/openapi.json): the full public read tier. - Search species: `GET https://portal.isogentix.com/public/species?q=&country=mg&limit=20` - Species record: `GET https://portal.isogentix.com/public/species/`, e.g. [IGX-MG-0000756](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/species/IGX-MG-0000756) (Tabernaemontana coffeoides) - Site query: `POST https://portal.isogentix.com/public/site-query` with `{"country":"MG","geometry":}`: species GBIF has recorded inside the polygon, annotated with our checklist (Madagascar for now). - Access request: `POST https://portal.isogentix.com/public/access-request` with `{"name","organisation","email","purpose"}`. Only when a person asks for access beyond the public tier. - MCP server: `https://portal.isogentix.com/public/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, stateless, no auth). Tools: search_species, get_species, site_query, get_counts, request_access. - Every response carries `layer`, `license`, `attribution` and `provenance` links; cite with `attribution`. No coordinates are returned, and locality-sensitive species (CITES-listed or IUCN threatened) have regions withheld and are never listed in site queries. Rate-limited per IP; HTTP 429 means slow down. ## National flora datasets Each page gives live counts, coverage, last refresh and licence, with a schema.org Dataset JSON-LD block. - [All datasets](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets) (schema.org DataCatalog) - [Madagascar](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/mg) - [Mauritius](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/mu) - [Maldives](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/mv) - [Seychelles](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/sc) - [New Caledonia](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/nc) - [Fiji](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/fj) - [Réunion](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/re) - [Comoros](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/km) - [Socotra](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/so) - [Ecuador](https://portal.isogentix.com/public/datasets/ec) ## Access - Register free at https://portal.isogentix.com/ (the sign-in page has a Register link). Each user accepts the portal terms at first sign-in. - Access is tiered: Public accounts see locations at region level; scientist and national-authority roles see more, by invitation. - Precise localities of sensitive species (CITES-listed or IUCN threatened) are withheld from users not entitled to them. ## Licence - The Flora database record (names, distributions, occurrences, threat and trade status, specimen custody, image links and their provenance, and counts derived from them) is released under CC BY 4.0: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ - Attribution: "IsoGentiX Flora Portal, https://portal.isogentix.com/, CC BY 4.0". - Layers IsoGentiX generates from its own field, laboratory and analytical work (genomic, chemical and site-assessment outputs, and any commercial product) are not covered by that licence. Terms: https://isogentix.com/policies/data-ip-licensing-ethics/ - Every public response names its licence layer (`layer`, `license`, `attribution`), and public endpoints return the CC BY 4.0 Flora record only. ## Sources Names backbone: World Checklist of Vascular Plants (Kew). Occurrences: GBIF and partner herbaria. Threat status: IUCN Red List. Trade controls: CITES. Every data assertion in the portal keeps a link to its source. ## Optional - [IsoGentiX website](https://isogentix.com/) and its [llms.txt](https://isogentix.com/llms.txt) - [Data, IP and licensing policy](https://isogentix.com/policies/data-ip-licensing-ethics/) - [Sitemap](https://portal.isogentix.com/sitemap.xml)
