This book is an up-to-date checklist of the current valid
taxonomyfor all vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens in British
Columbia,including synonyms, species codes, and other information.
A convenient,geographically restricted, comprehensive checklist
like this one willaid greatly in avoiding the present confusion
concerning the names ofmany species in the ecological and
systematic literature, as well as inapplied fields. The book is
organized into three sections. Part 1 organizes
speciesalphabetically according to taxonomic order by families of
vascularplants, bryophytes, and lichens. Within each family, the
genera arelisted alphabetically, along with any synonomies (former
names) andcommon names. In Part 2 species are organized
alphabetically accordingto their scientific names. Part 3 lists
common names followed by theirscientific names. Excluded names
(names inappropriately applied toplants in B.C.) are given in an
appendix. Those familiar with planttaxonomy will find Part 1
particularly helpful when checkingnomenclature; semi-professionals
familiar with scientific names willuse Part 2 and then Part 1;
those who know only common names will checkPart 3 and then Part 2
and Part 1 to determine families. There is presently considerable
confusion about many species namesin B.C. Plant names change for
many reasons and new plants invade.Information about plants in B.C.
is scattered in several checklists,most of them incomplete or out
of date; for some species, such asliverworts, no provincial
checklist even exists. This checklisttherefore will be useful to
all professionals working with vegetationand for students in
agriculture, botany, ecology, forestry and othersciences. Although
the focus is on B.C., the book will also be usefuloutside the
province, particularly in the northwest American states andin
Alberta and the Yukon.
