Flora of Guam

Project Managers: Tom A. Ranker

The Flora of Guam was first published by Benjamin C. Stone in 1970. The University of Hawaii at Manoa in collaboration with the the Micronesica, published by the University of Guam, are now pleased to provide readers with the text in electronic format. This project is a work in progress, and is expected to be completed by September 2012.

I would like to thank the following individuals for assisting in initiating and in the development of the e-flora: Dr. Chris Lobban, Editor - Micronesica, Dr. Alex Kerr, and Dr. Kathy Lofdahl.

Nomenclature and taxonomic arrangement is being updated and follows Stevens, P. F. (2001 onwards). Angiosperm Phylogeny Website. Version 8, June 2007. This scheme follows: A.P.G. [= Angiosperm Phylogeny Group] II. 2003. An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG II. Bot. J. Linnean Soc. 141: 399-436. Plant names and names of higher taxonomic categories have been cross-referenced with the Plant List.

Please, contact us if you have suggestions, find errors, or identify inconsistencies.

July 2012 Research Checklists Research checklists are pre-compiled by biologists. This is a very controlled method for building a species list, which allows for specific specimens to be linked to the species names within the checklist and thus serve as vouchers. Specimen vouchers are proof that the species actually occurs in the given area. If there is any doubt, one can inspect these specimens for verification or annotate the identification when necessary.
