The flora of Ventura County is rich and diverse, due to its unique geographic position on the California coast and its Mediterranean climatic regime.   This website is dedicated to providing information about the flora of Ventura County.
David L. Magney has been studying and researching the vascular plant flora of Ventura County, California since the mid-1970s, with a goal to publish a flora and manual of all the native and naturalized vascular plants growing in the county.   No one has previously published a flora exclusively of Ventura County; however, there are floras published for parts of Ventura County, or floras that includes parts of the county with focus primarily on other adjacent regions.
