Floristic Projects

Currently the faculty and staff of the Herbarium are revising The Distribution of the Vascular Flora of Georgia, originally published by Jones and Coile in 1988. This revision is urgently needed because many new species of native and introduced species have been collected since in Georgia. This includes plants found during numerous floristic inventories the Herbarium has completed in Georgia at Ft. Gordon (Augusta), Ft. Stewart (Hinesville), Stone Mtn. Park (Stone Mtn.), and most recently Callaway Gardens (Pine Mtn.). The Distribution of the Vascular Flora of Georgia project has been developed by Patrick Sweeney and David Giannasi with support from the Vice President's Office for Service and Outreach, University of Georgia and the Georgia State Department of Natural Resources.
