Plant listings for plants of mediterranean biomes

Hi,
I wonder if there is any resource covering useful plants species of the different mediterranean biomes in the world, so that these can be searched for
when trying to expand the species of a particular one of them, what is called using species of 'climate analogs'
Does anybody know?

Antonio,

For California that has many variations of Mediterranean climate I use:
Calscape
It covers all California native species.

I found it useful to check out the Köppen climate zones on Wikipedia, go to the zone I'm interested in, check that list, and then look at the native plants of all the areas of the world that had my same climate.

Hi Andie, it didn't occur to me to go through the Köppen zones in wikipedia, however I don't understand what is that you actually do. Where do you look at the native plants of the world that have the same climate as yours, just do an internet search? Because this isn't exactly what I am looking for. Of course I can look for the native plants of any specific areas, but there can be thousands of them.
What I an looking for is "useful" plant species, like the ones we may want to use in a permaculturally designed ecosystem, not jus any plant in the same ecosystem type.

Hi Cristobal, that's an interesting resource indeed!
However where do you look for California native plants that can be useful for permaculture projects?
Thanks

https://pfaf.org/user/default.aspx allows you to search by different climate variables.  

Somewhere on the site I remember a list specific to Mediterranean climates, but I can't find it today.

It depends what specifically you are looking for: fruits, nitrogen fixers, slope stabilization, pasture plants, etc. Let's say I just look at the species growing in my locale, then read about each of them and decide if it fits my needs. Then I'm trying to find a vendor, I purchase it and check if it even grows on my land. If it does then I buy more. Slow process, but the only one that works for me due to my specific microclimate.

Might be this one started by Abraham Palmer perhaps?
