An Open Image Dossier

Over time, this "open image dossier" will accumulate digital images of most of the almost 2000 Newfoundland and Labrador vascular plant species, subspecies and varieties that are listed in the Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Newfoundland and Labrador, and in the developing online VASCAN database, 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.





Image Index

Plants are named, and images are organized, primarily, according to the taxonomic scheme used in the "Annotated Checklist", and to the more recent, developing, online VASCAN database. However, in some places, taxonomy has been updated further to reflect the very latest scientific literature. Additional taxonomic reference has been 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 (although most are reflected in the VASCAN database); to some standard European works; and to some additional Internet sources.

A Co-operative Project

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.
