FLORAS OF THE WORLD—PART II 25 
Andalucia, Asturias, Estremadura, Leén, and Murcia. Of the 48 
provinces, 11 have floras, of which 3 date from 1839 to 1861, 3 
from 1882 to 1899, and 5 from 1913 to 1953. Of 202 primary 
titles, 31 are general, 20 regional, 14 provincial, and 137 local; 
and there are 153 subsidiary titles, making a total of 355. 
SWEDEN.—The kingdom of Sweden, with an area of 449,165 
square kilometers (173,423 square miles, including water areas) 
has a flora, including naturalized plants, of about 2,104 species 
(Lindman, 1926, including 206 species of Taraxacum and 
Hieracium and some introduced species; Léve and Love (1948) 
give 1,645 native or thoroughly naturalized species, not including 
micro-species or any Hieracium or Tararacum). The standard 
modern flora, by Lindman (1926), is now out of date, but its place 
will be taken by a new Scandinavian fiora by Hylander (see under 
Scandinavia) which, although covering a much larger area, pro- 
vides fuller descriptions and more detailed ranges than were given 
by Lindman. There are four popular or semipopular and incom- 
plete floras (Bolin, Lagerberg, Lindman, and Ursing, the three 
first cited under Scandinavia but referring primarily to Sweden), 
illustrated with colored plates, and several for the most part older 
works that are complete and more technical. Colored illustrations 
of more than half the species are available in Swedish works. 
Krok’s bibliography catalogs the botanical literature very fully 
through 1918 and gives appropriate biographical information, 
but its usefulness is severely restricted by lack of a subject index; 
the years from 1945 on are covered by a current series of lists. 
There are a number of works on vernacular names, mostly lists 
of would-be standard names selected or composed by individual 
authors but including two catalogs of Middle Age names and two 
extensive compilations of vernacular and patois names, of which 
that by Lyttkens is much the larger and better documented. There 
are several works on medicinal plants, nearly all popular or semi- 
popular in character, and some similar works on other useful 
plants, particularly those that are edible, of which three go back 
to Linnaeus. There is one work on weeds (1885) and several on 
cultivated plants, all of which except that by Andersson (1867) 
are mere name lists or descriptive treatises without mention of 
uses, although one of them is restricted to ornamental species. 
There is a compilation of first records for Swedish plants, a work 
on agricultural climatology, a descriptive treatment of dicotyle- 
donous seedlings, and some works on miscellaneous subjects in- 
cluding phytogeographic studies of north Sweden and south Swe- 
den but not of middle Sweden. The range of practically all the 
species is shown on the maps in Hultén’s Atlas (see under Scan- 
dinavia). 
In their statement of local distribution, Swedish botanists 
employ the names and boundaries of the old provinces (land- 
skap), disregarding the more modern administrative division 
into lan, and this practice has been followed in the present work, 
but the names of the respective lan have been added in paren- 
theses when, as is usually the case, they do not coincide with the 
landskap.
