Preceding works The Jepson Manual also follows Philip A. Munz and
David D. Keck in their
A California Flora and Supplement of 1958 and 1968. Like other florae,
The Jepson Manual builds upon these prior publications. Except for the number of line drawings, it has more in common with Munz's 1968 book than with Jepson's 1923 book.
Editions The first edition of
The Jepson Manual was published in 1993 as
The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California (TJM93), and was edited by James C. Hickman. While the book is named in honor of Jepson,
The Jepson Manual is not simply a new edition of Jepson's 1923 book, but a new work which Baldwin calls "the most time-consuming undertaking of my career." ==Jepson eFlora==
