Scope

The Virtual Herbarium presents information on Southeastern vascular plants from the University of North Carolina Herbarium. The Southeast comprises the states of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Vascular or higher plants are those with true vascular tissue in their stems and include: the ferns, horsetails, clubmosses, and other spore bearing plants (these are the vascular plants without seeds); the pines, cypresses, cedars and other non-flowering seed plants (these are the vascular plants with seeds but without flowers); and the flowering plants (these are the vascular plants with both seeds and flowers).
