Support the Flora of the Southeastern US
2024 has been a banner year for making the best flora we can imagine. We've created:
- Keys with embedded images of diagnostic features
- Clickable glossary terms with illustrated definitions
- FloraQuest: Carolinas & Georgia mobile app
- Heliophily and Wetland Statuses
- Direct links to Flora of North America
- 17,730 new high quality diagnostic photos and counting
With financial support from people like you, we are aiming even higher in 2025. Together we can accomplish all this: Vote on our 2025 priorities
- Add Global Conservation Ranks (GRanks) vote
- Professional graphic keys (polyclaves) to individual families/genera vote
- 2 new FloraQuest apps: Florida & Mid-South vote
- Image overlays highlighting diagnostic characters with arrows vote
- iNaturalist integration in FloraQuest vote
We've set a goal of recruiting 200 ongoing supporters to donate $15 or more each month in 2025. Please help us reach this goal and make next year's flora even better:
| Family | Scientific Name | Common Name | Habitat | Distribution | Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phyllanthaceae | Moeroris abnormis ssp. abnormis | Drummond’s Leaf-flower | Prairies, barrens, dunes. | OK and se. NM south to s. TX and TAM. |  |
| Phyllanthaceae | Moeroris abnormis ssp. garberi | Florida Leaf-flower | Ocean dunes, other open, dry, sandy areas. | Ne. FL and se. GA (Camden County) south to s. peninsular FL. |  |
| Phyllanthaceae | Moeroris abnormis ssp. riograndensis | Thornscrub. | S. TX (to be expected in ne. Mexico, but apparently not documented for there). | ||
| Phyllanthaceae | Moeroris amara | Gale-of-wind, Carry-me-seed | Disturbed roadsides. | Native of s. Asia. Also reported for NC and SC (Radford, Ahles, & Bell 1968) and for AL and MS (Kartesz 2010, 2020); it appears that these reports represent misidentified material and are actually Moeroris tenella (Webster 1970). |  |
| Phyllanthaceae | Moeroris debilis | Pine flatwoods and disturbed areas; apparently alien in North America. | Native of West Indies. West Indies. |  | |
| Phyllanthaceae | Moeroris fraterna | Disturbed areas. | Native of India and Pakistan. Introduced in SC (Kartesz 1999, 2010). S. FL, MS, LA. Reported for GA (Zomlefer et al. 2018). |  | |
| Phyllanthaceae | Moeroris pentaphylla | Fivepetal Leaf-flower | Pine rocklands, marl prairies, disturbed areas. | S. FL; West Indies. The record from Darlington County, SC is unlikely to be correctly labeled (as also indicated by RAB) and is here excluded. |  |
| Phyllanthaceae | Moeroris tenella | Mascarene Island Leaf-flower | Disturbed areas, especially in and around greenhouses. | Native of the Mascarene Islands. This species appeared in FL in the 1920s, s. GA in the 1940s, SC in the 1950s, NC in the 1960s, and TN in the 1970s (Kral 1981). Reported from a single collection from VA, as a "contaminant in a container plant" (Virginia Botanical Associates 2007). |  |
