ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

E-Flora BC is a collaborative, volunteer-driven project supported by many agencies and individuals. This strong support and recognition of a vision for compiling and presenting scientifically accurate information on the BC flora in a single location has made E-Flora possible. We owe thanks to many people for this support and their contributions of species identifications, introductory material, species lists, atlas page information, photos, computer programming, and overall input to the presentation and material available on E-Flora BC.
