We had a talk about the Flora of North America at our native plant society December meeting by one of the women who was instrumental in starting this project and is still working on it. Most of the work is being done by volunteers. They probably had their hands full without including Mexico. It's a very large project that is taking a long time. I came away from her talk impressed with all the time these dedicated people were spending and that years later many of the original volunteers were still involved. She is currently out of town but when she gets back I'll ask her why Mexico was not included. Once again I'll give a plug to Jane McGary's (editor) Bulbs of North America which although it mainly deals with bulbs from Canada and the United States does include some Mexican plants as well.
