Info

After the economic progression of the south in the 1950’s, interest in a descriptive flora gained more interest (Frodin 2001). This interest led to the beginning of the Vascular Plants for the Southeastern United States project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Frodin 2001). The goal of this project was to bring the flora of the southeast up-to-date following the style of the very successful Manual of the vascular flora of the Carolinas (Radford et al. 1968). However, only two volumes have been completed to date: Volume 1 ASTERACEAE (Cronquist 1980) and Volume 2, Part 3 Leguminosae (Fabaceae) (Isley 1990). Godfrey and Wooten published Aquatic and Wetland Plants of the Southeastern United States, which consisted of two volumes: Monocotyledons (Godfrey and Wooten 1979) and Dicotyledons (Godfrey and Wooten 1981). This work covers North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. The most current flora in production is the Flora of North America North of Mexico which is being compiled by the Flora of North America Editorial Committee (FNAEC). Upon completion, there will be 30 volumes. Volume 1 (background information for understanding patterns in the flora) and Volume 2 (treatments of ferns and gymnosperms) were published in 1993 (FNAEC 1997). Volumes 3-26 are angiosperms and are arranged using Cronquist’s classification system (FNAEC 1997). Volumes 3-5, 19- 23, and 25-26 are currently published. At the present time, Volumes 6-11 and 24 are in production. Volumes 27-29 will cover Bryophytes, and Volume 30 will be the cumulative bibliography and index (FNAEC 1997). This large flora will cover all of North America north of Mexico, so will therefore be very useful in terms of filling the gap of state floras in the southeastern United States. 3.2 Herbaria Search Requests were sent to 42 herbaria in the eastern and southeastern U.S. Responses were received from 20 (47.6%) of these herbaria. Of the responses received, 15 out of the 20 (75.0%) were unable to provide any specimen data in accordance with the criteria set forth. However, specimen data was received from 6 herbaria in the form of downloaded database records, photocopies of specimen labels, e-mail references, etc., which are summarized in Table 4 below. Data was received in different forms, and the level of detail varied between records. All of the records received were analyzed for possible verifiable NATR collections. Of the 231 actual specimen records received, none were able to provide a verifiable location within the boundaries of the NATR. 20
