About the Atlas of the Virginia Flora

As we work to build our database of Floyd County’s native plants, we are indebted to the Digital Atlas of the Virginia Flora (also known as the Flora) which is the state’s official online plant database. Its records are based on early samples (herbaria) housed at many of the state’s oldest universities, and more recent carefully collected samples. Native status is determined by experts in the field and based on established academic consensus and methods. Our own Plants include some not noted by the Flora as native to Floyd County in cases where they were interesting and listed as native to surrounding counties. In a few cases, highly interesting species such as Red Spruce (Picea rubens) were included because research shows that they once grew in the region but have been so thoroughly extirpated as to drop off the Flora’s maps.
