Description

The Vascular Plant List Bruce & Grey: Compendium Version 2, 2025 (PDF) is a keystone publication of the Owen Sound Field Naturalists. This expanded version of the Vascular Plant List is available only as a PDF document. It is annotated and contains a much more detailed dataset than the Vascular Plant List Bruce & Grey (in soft cover format). The 2025 version has been updated with: changes to the families of 135 taxa; addition of 8 species; changes in the names of 5 species; local zone updates for 6 taxa. The Compendium is an essential reference for naturalists, botanists, life science inventory specialists, land use planners, resource management agencies, and consultants who are working within Bruce and Grey Counties. The OSFN contracted Tyler Miller, Field Ecologist to significantly revise and update the list since our 4th Edition. It includes 1617 taxa (species, subspecies, varieties and hybrids) for 139 families, including all locally and provincially rare plants found in the counties. This is one of the first vascular plant lists in Ontario to include floristic affinities, which are noted throughout the list. The table in the Compendium also includes scientific names, common names, infraspecific taxa, synonyms, coefficient of conservation, coefficient of wetness, G Rank, N-Rank, S-Rank and SAR conservation rankings as well as comments from the compiler relating to data sources, historic and new species.

The Compendium is available only in PDF.
