This web portal allows to browse available plant genetic resource accessions and gives the possibility to order some seeds or plant material for cultivation. It includes plant genetic resources of around fifty plant genus from 19 genebanks. -Florilège retrieves accession information from different BrAPI-compliant systems such as OLGA, an internal accessions management system, or FAIDARE. Leveraging the BrAPI implementation of these systems ensures standardized data retrieval from multiple sources, making the integration of new data sources that implement BrAPI an effortless process. The implementation of BrAPI is a prerequisite for the integration of any new database in Florilège. +Florilège retrieves accession information from different BrAPI-compliant systems. They include OLGA, a genebank accessions information management system, and GnpIS[@doi:10.34133/2019/1671403] [@doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-6658-5_5], an INRAE data repository for plant genetic resources, phenomics and genetics. Using BrAPI to gather data from these systems reduced the efforts and enabled standardized data retrieval. As a consequence, BrAPI is the de facto standard for exchanging data within the French plant genetic resources community. The Florilège team also requested several update of the BrAPi specifications to better serve this use case, such as Collection or improved external references. Florilège is developed in Drupal 10, and uses xnttbrapi module (to easily connect to BrAPI compliant external databases).
