Plants of Everglades National Parl: A Preliminary Checklist of Vascular Plants
Avery GN and Loope LL. 1983. Plants of Everglades National Parl: A Preliminary Checklist of Vascular Plants. SFRC T-574. South Florida Natural Resources Center. Homestead, Florida
This list is based upon specimens in the herbarium of Everglades National Park, located at the South Florida National Park, located at the South Florida Research Center. Species which have been seen by the authors in Everglades National Park (ENP), but which are not currently represented by specimens from Everglades in the ENP herbarium, are designated by an asterisk (*). The list inclues plant taxa occurring within the boundaries of ENP which are native or naturalized in South Florida. Naturalized exotic plant species are preceded by the letter "E." Because of the difficulty of determining which weedy species are non-native, only those which are almost certainly exotic (based largely on range information given in Long and Lakela's Flora of Tropical Florida (1976 edition), in Adams' Flowering Plants of Jamaica, or in Hitchcock and Chase's Manual of the Grasses of the United States are so designated. Species occurring currently in cultivation or persisting locally from past cultivation are not included, except for certain formly cultivated species for which specimens exist in the ENP herbarium and which may persist in several locations (preceeded by the letter "C"). Additional information regard the flora of Key Largo Ranger Station (outside the boundaries of Everglades National Park) and regarding cultivated exotic species occurring in specific localities is included in addenda.
