For the most updated list, please see my complete index to Nature ID page.
Initially, I often used the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG I, II, and III) that is regularly used on Wikipedia. As of May 2012, I started using the continually updated Jepson eFlora, which I believe is closely based on the 2012 2nd edition of The Jepson Manual. It may be an unending task to switch over as I add flowers, double check their current family status, and update older posts. This work-in-progress list should not be used as any sort of finalized reference.
Common names below link to all Nature ID posts for featured plant families. I've cross-referenced common names when appropriate. Scientific names forward to Jepson eFlora Dichotomous Keys to Genera in Families (if available) or Jepson eFlora Taxon pages (JeFT). If you know a scientific family name and do not see its common name, use your browser's find function with the scientific name. Number of entries from the last update are in parentheses.
