Photography Credits
11,044 images of ca. 2,975 species (ca. 97% of the state flora), and 66,689 county occurrences for browse and search in the Vascular Plant Herbarium as of April 27, 2024. The remaining 3% are introduced species known from three or fewer counties that have not become established as part of the Tennessee flora.
Photographs of the woody plants of Tennessee (with Wofford & Chester caption) are from “Guide to Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Tennessee” by B. Eugene Wofford & Edward W. Chester. For additional information about this book contact the University of Tennessee Press (under seasonal catalogs) at: www.utpress.org.
Approximately 1,100 images of grasses, sedges, and rushes were scanned and processed by Chris A. Fleming, botany graduate student, from specimens deposited in the University of Tennessee Herbarium (TENN). 4,396 images of mostly herbaceous species were also added to image archive and photo link entries of database by Chris Fleming as of October 14, 2004. Images are dynamically linked and displayed upon users inquiry via the online Flora Database developed by Victor Ma.
Daniel Reed has generously provided 269 excellent images now available for viewing on November 1, 2002 from his website "Wildflowers of the Southeastern United Sates."

Steve Baskauf, Vanderbilt University, provided 400 high quality images posted on the website in September 2005. These images and many others can also be viewed on his bioimages website: bioimages.cas.vanderbilt.edu
Eugene Wofford, emeritus director of the TENN Herbarium, provided 701 new images of woody plants in winter condition (386 taxa from 161 families) added on July 21, 2008.
The initiative to add plant images to our existing distribution maps of the vascular plants of Tennessee began with a grant from The University of Tennessee Libraries Digital Center (DLC). To date, the DLC has provided ca. 1,500 electronic images that are now available for viewing. The majority of original images were provided by personnel of The University of Tennessee Botany Dept., Knoxville, TN and the Austin Peay State University Center for Field Biology, Clarksville, TN.
