OUT OF PRINT

• Endangered, Threatened, and Sensitive Vascular Plants of Nevada, December 1991 (published February 1992), plus supplement through January 1995. This booklet is now out of date, with only a few copies remaining. It still contains some useful supplementary and general information. It is currently superseded by our on-line updated Detailed Rare Plant List and the Nevada Rare Plant Atlas until another edition of Endangered, Threatened, and Sensitive Plants of Nevada is published.
• Threatened and Endangered Plants of Nevada: an Illustrated Manual (Mozingo and Williams, 1980, U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management, Reno). This book is out of print and out of date with respect to the taxa covered and their distribution and conservation status. It still contains much useful descriptive and illustrative material for the taxa covered, and fairly good habitat data.
