Much of the information on the following web pages is the direct result of contributions and submissions from Nevada Rare Plant Workshop participants over several decades. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Nevada Rare Plant Atlas: http://heritage.nv.gov/atlas/atlas.html; Provides Nevada dot maps and fact sheets for 249 of the 297 plants and lichens currently on the At-risk and Watch lists of NNHP. The fact sheets include information on conservation and population status, known threats and impacts, inventory effort, land management, geographic range, habitat and elevations, life history, and descriptive and other biological characteristics. Sources of photographs and drawings are also cited or linked when known, and additional literature citations are provided for further information on each taxon.
Nevada Wildflower Reports On-line and Great Basin Precipitation Watch: http://heritage.nv.gov/wildflow.htm and http://heritage.nv.gov/weather/gbprecip.htm; Reports of growing and flowering conditions from throughout Nevada, and summaries of moisture and drought conditions for Nevada and the west, designed for those planning field work or other outdoor activities. Please contribute your wildflower observations throughout the seasons and the state!
Nevada Rare Species Images: http://heritage.nv.gov/images.htm; A large and growing collection of digital photographs of rare Nevada species, both in-house and linked from all over the Internet.
