A horticultural flora, also known as a garden flora, is a plant identification aid structured in the same way as a native plants flora. It serves the same purpose: to facilitate plant identification; however, it only includes plants that are under cultivation as ornamental plants growing within the prescribed climate zone or region. Traditionally published in book form, often in several volumes, such floras are increasingly likely to be produced as websites or CD ROMs. ==Scope and contents== Horticultural floras include both cultigens (plants deliberately altered in some way by human activity) and those wild plants brought directly into cultivation that do not have cultigen names. They might also include colour images and useful information specific to the zone or region including: * historical details about outstanding public and private cultivated plant collections * exceptional trees (age, history, rarity, size etc.) * prominent nurserymen and plant breeders * references to the taxonomic and other literature on the plant groups * easy "spotting" or "field" characters useful for quick identification * notes on ecology (especially the potential of plants to naturalise and become invasive) * horticultural history of introduction * conservation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「horticultural flora」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
