• Indication of species' origin (native or not native), and its region of nativity if not native
• Notation of endangered, threatened, endemic, or invasive status
• Notation of status as invasive or potentially invasive, including the FLEPPC rating
• Updated notes on each species' distribution within Florida
• Completely updated nomenclature
• A revised family, genus, and species classification that follows recent phylogenetic analyses
• A dichotomous key to higher taxa, making it easier to find families, genera, and species
