Flora
of Virginia
This Project is devoted to produce the Flora
of Virginia, gathering the legacy of more than three centuries of
Virginia botanists into a modern work. The Flora of Virginia will
open the natural world to a new generation of botanists, natural
resource managers, and natural historians who can further expand
our knowledge and contribute to the conservation of our rich natural
heritage. This Project will:
- Provide a guide to the identification,
habitat, status, and distribution of Virginia's plants for professional
and avocational users;
- Assimilate and build on the rich tradition
of botanical exploration in Virginia;
- Incorporate current genetic-based information
in addition to traditional taxonomic approaches; and
- Increase interest in the appreciation
and conservation of Virginia's flora.

Distribution
Maps
We will be creating distribution
maps of our records from the following groups: Carnivorous
Plants, Rare Flora and Orchids.
Additionally, we will have a Miscellaneous grouping
of maps that are derived from data sets that don't belong to one
of the above categories, but have been databased in full.
