Question

flora n.植物群落 The use of the word flora as referring to a particular area's vegetation has been used by botanists since the 1640s, but it became common with Swedish botanist Linnaeus, who in 1745 wrote "Flora Suecica," a study of the plant life of Sweden. The word was a natural fit, as Flōra was the name of the Roman goddess of flowers. When scientists study a region's flora, they classify their findings and create a descriptive list, which is also called a flora. ★☆☆☆☆ 2010.6

Accepted Answer

The word also refers to the plant life of a particular era — for example, fossilized plants can help us determine the flora at the time of dinosaurs. The interdependence of the forest and its constituent tree speices, ground flora, and fauna is taken for granted. 1[N-UNCOUNT-COLL 不可数集合名词](尤指某一地区的)植物群落 You can refer to plants as flora, especially the plants growing in a particular area.   [FORMAL 正式]...the variety of food crops and flora which now exists in Dominica.现存于多米尼加的各种粮食作物和植物群落
