The Atlas of Florida Native Plants
The Atlas of Florida Native Plants Search for a plant name to see where this plant grows naturally in Florida. Often there are multiple photographs of the plant. This is helpful in determining if the plant that interests you will grow well in your location. Searching by Scientific name is usually preferable to searching by common name. Sometimes the same common name is used for several different plants. If you don't know the Scientific spelling, search on FNPS by common name.
