Over time, this "open image dossier" will accumulate digital images of most of the over 1300 vascular plant species listed in the Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Newfoundland and Labrador, plus a number of more recent finds, both to assist in their identification, and to provide intimate views of the flora not often seen by the casual observer.

The website is a co-operative project/partnership, involving a number of individual participants [see bottom of this page], some representing present or former parent institutions or agencies, others representing themselves. The website was begun, originally, to serve as a working image resource for the Newfoundland Rare Plant Project. Rights to the images and data included remain with the various individual partners.

Image Index
Plants are named, and images are organized, primarily, according to the taxonomic scheme used in the "Annotated Checklist". However, in quite a few places, taxonomy has been updated to reflect the latest scientific literature. Additional taxonomic reference has been frequently made to "the Bible" for the Newfoundland and Labrador region: Fernald, Merritt Lyndon. 1950. "Gray's Manual of Botany". Eighth edition. American Book Company. New York. lxiv + 1632 pp.; to the various new treatments currently being produced by the Flora of North America Project; to some standard European works; to recently-published scientific papers; and to some Internet sources.
