Flora of the Czech Republic

Flora of the Czech Republic (nine volumes of which are planned) represents a series with the most detailed treatment of wild vascular plant species occurring in this country (native species, naturalized aliens and casuals) and more frequently outdoor cultivated taxa. The Flora includes comprehensive encyclopedic taxonomic and chorological information and identification keys to all the taxa. It is based on an original study of plant material, using contemporary methods of study. Each volume contains keys to genera (following the descriptions of families; key to families will be found at the beginning of the special part in vol. 1.), species (following the descriptions of genera) and subspecies (following the descriptions of species. Correct species name are followed by synonyms, exsiccates, description, chromosome number, variability, ecology and phytocenological characteristics, distribution in the Czech Republic, total geographic distribution and economic significance. Seven volumes have been published covering the treatment of 154 families, 785 genera and 2576 species, most of the species are depicted on 838 mostly full-page plates. Work on vols. 8 and 9 is in progress.

The compendium is published by ACADEMIA, Publishing House of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
