(19 June 2009)

The table below includes all reports known to us that, individually or collectively, contain relatively current and comprehensive information on the biology, ecology, distribution, and conservation status of at-risk plant taxa in Nevada, or of other plant taxa of conservation interest, listed alphabetically by scientific name. Reports completed prior to 1986 are excluded, as are reports that do not include detailed information for the Nevada portion of the taxon's range. Entries in this color are available* on-line, mostly in PDF format, using the underlined links. Requests for paper copies should be directed to the agency or cooperator(s) listed in the table, which are defined at the end. Full literature citations for all reports by agencies other than the Nevada Natural Heritage Program are given after the table. Changes since August 1998 are shown in red.

*NOTE: as with the rest of our databases, detailed location data for at-risk species are available on request, for legitimate conservation, planning, or research purposes. Portions of the on-line reports below that contain such data (such as occurrence tables and detailed maps) are password-protected. Please contact us if you need access to these data.
