After over two decades of meticulous work, we are proud to present "Öland's Flora," a comprehensive account of the results from a survey of Öland's vascular plant flora that spanned from the year 2000 to 2020.
Volume 1 contains 15 chapters on a wide range of topics, from the geology of Öland to Öland plants in poetry. This is followed by the plant list, with a complete compilation of nearly 2,300 species that have been recorded on Öland, past and present. In addition, a number of subspecies, varieties, and hybrids are included, bringing the total to just over 3,000. Volume 1 covers families from clubmosses (Lycopodiaceae) to grasses (Poaceae).
Volume 2 continues the plant list with families from water lilies (Nymphaeaceae) to umbellifers (Apiaceae). You will learn when each plant was first recorded on Öland, its frequency, potential threats, and ecology. Most plants feature current distribution maps, and sometimes maps from previous floras are included for comparison. Numerous photos, both portraits of plants and environmental images, highlight the unique nature and flora of Öland.
"Öland's Flora" is expected to become an important reference work for researchers, nature lovers, and the general public, and is a must-have for anyone fascinated by Öland's rich plant life."
