Checklists are considered as useful tools for exploration work in plant genetic resources programmes. New information is presented for the checklist of Cuban cultivated plants (ESQUIVEL et al. 1989). 107 species were newly included. For a few other species additional data are given. This information is the result of two further collecting missions in Cuba. Fodder crops predominate, as a result of the cooperation with a specialist in this field. A computerized database was developed allowing not only to maintain the information but also to standardize nomenclatural abbreviations, e.g. authority and protologue.
