Figure 1 and Figure 2 were developed by the Association for Biodiveristy Information (ABI) Natural heritage Central Database, Arlington, VA., USA (2001). Throughout the above discussion, work currently being accomplished by ABI has been attributed to its parent organization, The Nature Conservancy, for the sake of continuity. This Chapter would not have been possible without the selfless work of thousands of professional and amateur botanists during the last 300 years. They have sweated and braved insects and briars to document, describe, and extol the flora of the Southeast. The Chapter is dedicated to the thousands of young people that have yet to discover their love affair with botany.
