The Compendium Index of North American
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Type Fossil Plants (PDF files).
This card catalog contains illustrations and descriptions of fossil plant species.
Based on variables such as leaf shape and major venation type
these cards are arranged into
sets of numbered morphological categories.
It presently covers fossil floras from North America, including Greenland, starting in the
Triassic and extending to the Pleistocene.
Over 93 references have been added in the last 20 years, and the
Compendium Index has grown from 10,000 cards to
approximately 20,000 cards, with 9,881 entries from 235 references dating
from 1866 to 2003. Freely distributable for non-commercial purposes.

Vascular Plant Systematics.
This book was written as a reference text for basic courses in taxonomy and as a source book of
information, procedures and references for ecosystematics, biosystematics, phylosystematics and chemosystematics.
It includes (1) an essentially synoptical treatment of the evidence, principles,
and concepts considered fundamental to vascular plant taxonomic studies and research;
(2) organized
laboratory and field exercises and problems basic to systematics;
(3) useable and useful techniques;
(4) summaries
of terminology pertinent to taxonomy;
(5) relevant bibliographies and indices; and (6) information on systematic
facilities.
