	Description:  
		Abstract:  This tabular dataset includes a complete listing of all vascular plant species at Petrified Forest National Park.  For each species associated voucher specimens, habit description, distribution, authority, synonymy, and common name are listed.  Species origin and associated descriptions of exotic non-native species are also provided.
		Purpose:  These data were collected to provide Petrified Forest National Park with an updated inventory since the 1981 park flora.

		Process_Step:  
			Process_Description:  This database was divided into three tables in order to provide three separate listings of important information to the users: main list of all species occurring in the park, exotic species listing and associated information, and voucher specimen information for each species.  Three tables were established for different plant species information lists: PEFO Plant List table is the main table listed for all plant species collected in Petrified Forest National Park; Exotic species is a listing of all exotic species found at Petrified Forest National Park and contains information on all plants listed in the PEFO Plant List that are described under the attribute Origin with an enumerated domain Introduced; and the Voucher Specimens table is a listing of all vouchers collected at Petrified Forest National Park, with not all species in the PEFO Plant List having an associated voucher specimen, and is linked by the attribute ID in the PEFO Plant List to the attribute Plant Number in the Voucher Specimens table.
