from the Jepson Herbarium
Since the Jepson eFlora was first posted online in 2012, a major revision has been published one to two times per year. These revisions represent changes that are informed by the most recent scientific evidence, and are done by experts in each group. They are intended to supersede what is printed in the Jepson Manual, second edition (TJM2) – that which the Jepson eFlora was originally based off of.
This year’s revision is the largest one to date! It includes the addition of over 50 new taxa, many of which are rare, and the recircumscription of many others. Consider it our holiday gift to all of you!! 
At this time, the revision is posted and all new names can now be found in the eFlora. It is important to note, however, that many ancillary resources, such as maps and illustrations, are still being updated. Please allow some time for those things to appear on the eFlora. If you find any other issues, we would be grateful to be notified of them! Please email ninahouse@berkeley.edu or use our Google Form, linked on each page of the eFlora, with any feedback.
Thank you and happy keying!
