A database on the taxonomy, nomenclature, phytogeography, and biological attributes of the North American vascular flora. It covers more than 28,000 species, subspecies, and varieties of native and naturalized vascular plants in North America north of Mexico. The information contained here is an extensive update of Dr. John T. Kartesz' 1994 A Synonymized Checklist of the Vascular Flora of the United States, Canada, and Greenland, 2nd ed. Distribution maps at the state and province level are provided for all accepted taxa, including families and genera (a total of more than 35,000 maps). More than 37,000 synonyms are listed and more than 150 fields of biological attribute information are provided for all 35,000+ taxa.
This second volume of the magnificent compendium exhaustively describes and classifys the ferns, fern allies, and gymnosperms of North America. Covering over two dozen fern and half a dozen gymnosperm families, they survey fern species of both ecological and horticultural importance and review such gymnosperm taxa as the conifers (the dominant trees in many forests as well as important timber plants) and cycads, which display significant evolutionary features. In all, the volume assembles 509 species of ferns and fern allies and infraspecific taxa in 70 genera.
This 2001 book provides a selective annotated bibliography of the principal floras and related works of inventory for vascular plants. The second edition was completely updated and expanded to take into account the substantial literature of the late twentieth century, and features a more fully developed review of the history of floristic documentation. The works covered are principally specialist publications such as floras, checklists, distribution atlases, systematic iconographies and enumerations or catalogues, although a relatively few more popularly oriented books are also included. The Guide is organised in ten geographical divisions, with these successively divided into regions and units, each of which is prefaced with a historical review of floristic studies. In addition to the bibliography, the book includes general chapters on botanical bibliography, the history of floras, and general principles and current trends, plus an appendix on bibliographic searching, a lexicon of serial abbreviations, and author and geographical indexes.
FNA presents for the first time, in one published reference source, information on the names, taxonomic relationships, continent-wide distributions, and morphological characteristics of all plants native and naturalized found in North America north of Mexico.
