A revised field reference to California’s vascular flora

Edited by Bruce G. Baldwin, this expanded second edition organizes a vast record of California’s native and naturalized vascular plants into an identification-focused reference. It incorporates updated taxonomy alongside treatments of newly described, newly discovered, and recently introduced taxa. Entries bring together diagnostic illustrations, geographic distribution, elevation range, flowering period, and nomenclature, while also noting non-native plants and native taxa of special concern. The volume additionally addresses alien plants not yet fully naturalized and includes a chapter placing the flora within California’s geologic, climatic, and vegetation history. With coverage of 7,600 species, subspecies, and varieties, it is built for detailed consultation rather than casual browsing.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Botanists and plant taxonomists working with California flora
  • Field naturalists identifying native, naturalized, and introduced vascular plants
  • Students and researchers needing distribution, elevation, and flowering-time data

Book overview

The second edition of The Jepson Manual thoroughly updates this acclaimed work, the single most comprehensive resource on California's amazingly diverse flora. Integrating the latest science with the results of intensive fieldwork, institutional collaboration, and the efforts of hundreds of contributing authors, this new edition is an essential reference on California's native and naturalized vascular plants.

This edition includes treatments of many newly described or discovered taxa and recently introduced plants, and it reflects major improvements in plant taxonomy. Nearly two-thirds of the 7,600 species, subspecies, and varieties that the volume describes are now illustrated with diagnostic drawings. Geographic distributions, elevation ranges, flowering times, nomenclature, and the status of non-natives and native taxa of special concern have all been updated throughout. The second edition also allows for identification of 240 alien taxa that are not fully naturalized and features a new chapter on geologic, climatic, and vegetation history of California.
