Oh, if you want to add it, the one I found for Portugal was this one.

It's apparently developed by the Portuguese botanical society as a volunteer project, and it seems great! I can even pinpoint an area on a map, and it will order all the plants by how likely they are to be found near there. It will also tag some plants saying if they are "nearly threatened", "vulnerable", or "in danger".
