Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants

Richard Wunderlin and Bruce Hansen of the Institute of Systematic Botany (University of South Florida) and Edwin L. Bridges of Fairchild Tropical Garden created the monumental Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants. The searchable Atlas is organized by Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, Monocots, and Dicots. Although not illustrated, the Atlas includes maps of the distribution (by county) of "each of Florida's over 4,000 plant species." These maps are arranged alphabetically by family, genus, and species, within each of the four major plant groups. In addition to the online version, "a fully searchable version that also includes information on endangered species, native status, wetland species, synonymy and more is available on a fully searchable, multi-platform CD-ROM."
