Supplement to A California Flora by Philip A. Munz is an essential update to one of the foundational references on the botany of the American West. Published a decade after the original A California Flora (1959, with David D. Keck), this volume incorporates the results of an extraordinarily active period of floristic research in the state. Drawing on a wide array of recent revisions, monographs, and international taxonomic reappraisals, Munz carefully records nomenclatural changes, corrections, and additions, particularly those prompted by renewed scrutiny of European types and older Linnaean names. The supplement not only integrates his own observations but also acknowledges the critical contributions of colleagues, collectors, and specialists across California, making it a collaborative record of botanical advancement.
Organized for direct correlation with the pagination and numbering of the 1959 Flora, the supplement is designed for practical use: owners of the original edition are encouraged to annotate their copies with these new treatments, ensuring the continued accuracy and relevance of their reference work. Abbreviations and formatting remain consistent with the parent volume, while annotations clarify instances where corrections apply only to the first printing. More than a mere errata list, Munz’s supplement reflects the dynamism of botanical science and the necessity of periodic revision in light of ongoing taxonomic debate. For professional botanists, naturalists, and serious students of California’s biodiversity, Supplement to A California Flora provides indispensable guidance for aligning fieldwork and research with the most current and authoritative identifications.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1968.
