Species - Flowering Forb Species Information

Description

This data set contains flowering forb species common and scientific names, native status, planted vs non planted species, and species specific counting units for all flowering plant species which were currently flowering at the time of data collection. These species are present in the nectar, bee_plants, and environment datasets. Only ACTIVELY BLOOMING/FLOWERING forb species are included in this list. No data in this project attempts to quantify species which flower but were not at the time of data colleciton. Data collection does not include flowering grasses.

Usage

• genus: character, genus of the plant according to USDA PLANTS Database

• species: character, species of the plant according to USDA PLANTS Database

• native_introduced_both: character, 'native', 'introduced', or 'both'. Native status of the plant according to USDA PLANTS Database.

• planted_non_planted: character, 'planted' or 'non planted'. Indicates if plant species was included in the seed mix planted in fall 2016.

• technical_count: character, clarification of *field_count_unit* if necessary

• infloresence_name_when_technical: character, clarification of *technical_count* if necessary
