Figure 1. A workflow to standardise taxon names for South African alien species lists using taxonomic backbones relevant to South Africa. During execution, the accepted scientific name with authorship and date information and higher-level taxonomic information are obtained, and issues and errors are detected, corrected and flagged. Inputs are shown in pink (A–D), the workflow in orange (1–14), and the outputs are in purple (I–V), with interim outputs in light purple (I–IV) and the final output in dark purple (V). For a summary of each step see Table 2 and for details see Supplementary Material 1. Note that 'plants' refers to vascular plants, and 'non-plant taxa' refers to all taxa that are not vascular plants.
