Plants are categorized into floras based on regions, periods, or environments, including native, agricultural, and weed flora. Publications known as 'flora' document the plant life of specific areas or times, often requiring specialized botanical knowledge. Historical examples include Simon Paulli's Flora Danica and Flora Sinensis, which describe regional plant life and sometimes animals.

Plants are grouped into floras based on region (floristic regions), period, special environment, or climate.
Regions can be distinct habitats like mountain vs. flatland. Floras can mean plant life of a historic era as
in fossil flora. Lastly, floras may be subdivided by special environments:

 Native flora. The native and indigenous flora of an area.

 Agricultural and horticultural flora (garden flora). The plants that are deliberately grown by
humans.

 Weed flora. Traditionally this classification was applied to plants regarded as undesirable and
studied in efforts to control or eradicate them. Today the designation is less often used as a
classification of plant life since it includes three different types of plants: weedy species, invasive
species (that may or may not be weedy), and native and introduced non-weedy species that are
agriculturally undesirable. Many native plants previously considered weeds have been shown to
be beneficial or even necessary to various ecosystems.

 The flora of a particular area or time period can be documented in a publication


also known as a "flora" (often capitalized as "Flora" to distinguish the two
meanings when they might be confused). Floras may require specialist botanical
knowledge to use with any effectiveness. Traditionally they are books, but some
are now published on CD-ROM or websites.
 Simon Paulli's Flora Danica of 1648 is probably the first book titled "Flora" to
refer to the plant world of a certain region. It mainly describes medicinal plants
growing in Denmark. The Flora Sinensis by the Polish Jesuit Michał Boym is
another early example of a book titled "Flora".[10] However, despite its title it
covered not only plants but also some animals of the region, that is China and
India.[7]
 A published flora often contains diagnostic keys. Often these
are dichotomous keys, which require the user to examine a plant repeatedly, and
decide which one of two alternatives given best applies to the plant.
 The political country of India is not a geographical unit employed in the World Geographical
Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Its flora is divided between a number of regions,
which should be used instead where the information is available
