All distribution/diversity mapping used by this system was developed by Erich Schneider of the

This informatics system is based on a full text index of standardized vascular plant nomenclature following © John T. Kartesz as updated in July of 1998.
Derived from A Synonymized Checklist of the Vascular Flora of the United States, Canada, and Greenland (1994) with the 1998 update restricted to U.S. States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
Common or local names used here also are derived from BONAP data, as is distribution data used for both distribution and diversity mapping.
