Format:Hardcover
This book (ISBN 0-7748-0652-4, 548 pages with hardcover) lists all the vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens found in British Columbia, the westernmost province of Canada. The book contains 4,349 species and 604 infraspecific taxa belonging to a total of 1,128 genera and 304 families of plants native in British Columbia. In addition, it includes 582 exotic but naturalized taxa. A total of 16,919 scientific names (including both accepted names and synonyms) and 3,976 common names are given. For the convenience of use, the book consists of three parts: Part 1 includes three lists of plant names, one for each of the three major plant groups (vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens). Within each group, scientific names are organized alphabetically first according to the family names, second according to the species names. Part 2 presents an alphabetical list of all the plant names listed in Part 1. Part 3 lists the common names used in the province. In addition, a list of 1090 excluded names is provided in Appendix.
