What is a Flora? This is a comprehensive reference dealing about plant diversity of a country or locality. It provides the names of plants, detailed description, and other important information about plants. It also provides a means to readily identify and recognize the species in the field, gardens and at home. Without such book it is almost impossible to give names and understand the nature of plants around us.
Most countries of the world have published accounts of their native plants. Among the popular references in Asia and nearby regions are Flora of Java, Flora of Malay Peninsula, Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak Flora of Taiwan, Flora of Japan, etc. Because of these books it is much easier to know the plant diversity in these countries and make sound decisions for conservation and environmental protection.
The Philippines lags behind its neighboring countries for up to now it has no published Flora of its own. This information vacuum has serious effect to biodiversity conservation and management and to the advancement of science.
How Rich is the flora of the Philippines ?
The Philippines harbors about 8,000+species of flowering plants distributed in about 1,600 genera and 191 families. There are more than 6,490 species of non-flowering plants (i.e. algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, etc.) and combined with vascular plants the total number of plants is about 14,490+species! Of this number, between 30 to 40% are said to be endemic to the country and nowhere else found.
