Florida Wildflower Foundation awards $10,000 grant
to support USF plant atlas Website
The Florida Wildflower Foundation has awarded a $10,000 grant to support the
continued development of the University of South Florida's Atlas of Florida
Vascular Plants Website.
The Atlas (www.florida.plantatlas.usf.edu) provides information on the
distribution of plants within the state. It also serves as a resource for
the Guide to Vascular Plants of Florida (Wunderlin, 1998; Wunderlin and
Hansen, 2003, 2011) and other outstanding botanical references.
"The funding will make it possible to add herbarium specimen data and
further improve the Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants Website," said Dr.
Richard Wunderlin of the Institute for Systematic Botany. "With accurate,
scientifically documented, county-by-county distribution maps and
photographs of all native plants in Florida, the Atlas is a great resource
for everyone from research scientists to native plant enthusiasts."
Florida Wildflower Foundation board chairman Terry Zinn said, "The Florida
Wildflower Foundation is excited to be able to support the important work
being done for Florida's wildflowers and native plants through this
excellent resource."
The grant was made possible by donations received through Florida State
Wildflower license plate sales. Since 2000, the plate has provided more than
$2.6 million for native wildflower research, planting and education projects
statewide.
Atlas records are based on institutional herbaria collections at University
of Florida, Florida State University, Fairchild Tropical Gardens and
University of South Florida. Additional records include herbaria specimens
at the New York Botanical Garden, Harvard University, and the University of
North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
The Florida Wildflower Foundation is a non-profit organization based in
Maitland, Fla. To learn more about its work, visit www.flawildflowers.org.
