A new and up to date flora is critical to the management of a number of agency programs including the native, invasive and sensitive plant programs. The last flora completed for the state was “A Manual of Higher Plants of Oregon” by Morton Peck in 1962. Since that time, an extensive amount of taxonomic information has been produced through research, studies, and inventories. The Oregon Flora Project has developed a morphological database to compile the most current information on the State’s flora. Data has been compiled in the database for only a few plant families to date. The purpose of this project is to compile and enter data into the morphological database.
