This category contains the native flora of Florida as defined by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included; taxa of higher ranks (e.g. genus) are only included if monotypic or endemic. Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries).

No land animals were present in Florida prior to the Miocene. The largest deposits of rock phosphate in the United States are found in Florida. [1] Most of this is in Bone Valley in central and west-central Florida. [2] Extended systems of underwater caves, sinkholes and springs are found throughout the state and supply most of the water used ...
