  ANNOUNCING:

CHECKLIST AND ATLAS OF THE VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST VIRGINIA by Paul J. Harmon, 
Donna Ford-Werntz, and William Grafton

The checklist and county dot-map atlas of the vascular flora of West Virginia 
is now available!

This 381-page printed document includes a series of completely revised lists of 
the vascular plants known to occur outside of cultivation in West Virginia.

County dot maps indicate from which counties each of the 2503 taxa is recorded. 
Open and solid dots indicate whether each was recorded after 1976 or not.

Botanists, ecologists, foresters, biologists, land managers, naturalists, 
horticulturalists and gardeners will all find this book extremely valuable, 
providing

* a reference to names and classification of all the ferns, trees, 
wildflowers and other vascular plants and the counties in the state in which 
they occur;
* which species are native, introduced, adventive, or exotic;
* which are classified as wetland species, which may be invasive to natural 
areas;
* those needing further field work,
* those needing systematic study, and
* those tracked by the West Virginia Natural Heritage program as state 
rare.

Each book is a spirally-bound, 8.5 x 11 inch formatted document suitable as a 
field reference or an addition to ones library or herbarium shelf. Inside front 
and back covers hold a table of abbreviations and icons found throughout the 
book, and an index map of the counties of West Virginia.

The entire work is indexed on common names, current scientific names as well as 
the scientific names used in the classic manual, Flora of West Virginia by P. 
D. Strausbaugh and Earl L. Core (Seneca Books, Inc., Morgantown, WV, 1977).
