The Jepson Manual
Vascular Plants of California
Second Edition
The second edition of The Jepson Manual
thoroughly updates this acclaimed work,
the single most comprehensive resource
on California’s diverse flora. The Jepson
Manual, second edition, integrates the latest
science with the results of intensive
fieldwork, institutional collaboration, and
the efforts of hundreds of contributing
authors. It includes treatments of many
newly described or discovered taxa and
recently introduced plants. Nearly twothirds
of the 7,600 species, subspecies,
and varieties the volume describes are
now illustrated with diagnostic drawings.
Geographic distributions, elevation ranges,
flowering times, nomenclature, and the
status of non-natives and native taxa of
special concern have all been updated.
