Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Alabama presents the first comprehensive statewide flora for Alabama in more than a century, following Charles Mohr’s Plant Life of Alabama (1901). Based on thousands of voucher specimens collected over decades of fieldwork, it documents 3,743 species in 1,120 genera and 204 families, with annotations on rarity, nativity, and selected synonyms. The checklist provides a modern baseline for understanding Alabama’s floristic diversity and serves botanists, conservation biologists, ecologists, and others studying the state’s vascular plants.

Title Details

The Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Alabama presents the first comprehensive statewide checklist of vascular plants for Alabama in over 100 years. Despite numerous county-level and regional plant checklists, Alabama has lacked a comprehensive and modern flora since Charles Mohr’s 1901 publication of Plant Life of Alabama. This compilation is based on thousands of voucher collections made primarily by the authors over decades of field work in the state.
This annotated checklist of vascular plants includes notes on rarity, nativity, and selected synonyms. The combined total of 3,743 species and 1,120 genera in 204 families indicates considerable floristic variety and elevates Alabama high among states with great overall plant diversity. As plant research and discovery in Alabama continues forward, this list will serve as a baseline for understanding the diversity of plant life in the state and will prove useful to botanists, conservation biologists, ecologists, and anyone interested in or working on vascular plants in Alabama.
