Shade to Part Shade, Dry Soils

Here we separate the plants into functional groups including trees, shrubs, herbs, grass and grasses-likes, ferns and fern-likes for shade-part shade, with dry soils. We then have the scientific name sorted alphabetically by genus. To generate a common name, place the scientific name into the search bar of the FL Vascular Plants website.
