This concordance of flowering plant family names was prepared initially at the request of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and was intended as a quick searchable database for family names and their alternative uses by Cronquist, Dahlgren, Reveal, Takhtajan and Thorne. This information also supplements the treatment given in the first volume of Flora North America and brings that listing up-to-date. Now, the opinions found by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APGII) and Peter F. Steven's Angiosperm Phylogeny Website (http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/Research/APweb/welcome.html) are added. The nomenclature is up-to-date and reflects the major changes now in the Vienna edition of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: Work on this project has been supported by the University of Maryland and the International Association for Plant Taxonomy, in cooperation with the National Agricultural Library. Continued support is now provided by Cornell University. I am grateful for the help provided by Drs. Richard Brummitt, Alexander Doweld, Kanchi Gandhi, Werner Greuter, the late Ruurd D. Hoogland, John McNeill, Nicholas Turland, and a host of others who have provided information on suprageneric names. This work would not be possible without the aid and assistance of numerous librarians and libraries, the most notable being those at Harvard University Herbaria, The Natural History Museum in London, The New York Botanical Garden, McKeldin Library at the University of Maryland, Cornell University Libraries, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
