Abstract This data paper describes the native vascularaquatic plant floras of 268 Japanese lakes recorded from1899–2011. The data were compiled from 201 literaturesources, most of which were written in Japanese andpublished in local journals or individual reports ratherthan in major scientific journals. The literature wassearched using web-based services (i.e., Google Scholar,http://scholar.google.com/; CiNii, http://ci.nii.ac.jp/en;JDreamII, http://pr.jst.go.jp/jdream2/; and ISI, http://apps.webofknowledge.com) and by private communi-cation with experts or local governments. Scientificnames were consolidated under currently-acceptednomenclature. Four datasets, FloraDB, LakeDB, Spe-ciesDB, and LiteratureDB, were created to include re-cords of the flora of each lake in each year, the namesand locations of the lakes, the scientific names andsynonyms of the aquatic vascular plants, and a literaturelist, respectively. These data can be used to study long-term changes in the species composition and/or richnessof aquatic plants in Japanese lakes.
