Grand Canyon Flora: Upper North Kaibab Trail

Grand Canyon Flora: Upper North Kaibab Trail

Introduction
Checklist

Introduction

Checklist

The checklist is in the traditional order of ferns and fern allies; conifers; dicots, and monocots, with names mostly as in the 2005 Grand Canyon Checklist.
The column Fam gives the first three letters in the family name.
The Scientific Name is linked to the SEINet page on each taxon, which will open in a new window.
An asterisk before the common name indicates a non-native species.
The column Elevation gives the maximum elevation for each taxon as given in my database, which does not yet include vouchers from this trail. Some of the species will therefore have maximum elevations lower than the voucher elevation on this trail.
Version for printing, without lines and other text on this page: html (4 pages) or pdf Clickbook booklet (1 double-sided page). (See printing instructions for an explanation of these options)

Acknowledgments

This list was made from a SEINet search on 12 August 2017 for vouchers with a locality containing North Kaibab Trail.
We thank Lori Makarick, the Vegetation Program Manager at Grand Canyon National Park, for creating and maintaining a spreadsheet of all the species in Grand Canyon National Park. That spreadsheet was instrumental for this project.
