This work is dedicated to the pioneers of rare plant conservation and data compilation inNevada: Margaret J. Williams (1917-2000), Ann Pinzl, Arnold Tiehm, Hugh N. Mozingo, N.Duane Atwood, Ken Genz, Sherel Goodrich, James L. Reveal, Janice C. Beatley, Susan A.Cochrane, and the many other early members of and contributors to the Northern Nevada NativePlant Society and its Rare Plant Committee.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The process of compiling and editing this atlas would have been impossible without the efforts andcontributions of numerous individuals, organizations, and institutions over many decades. This atlas isan ongoing and unfinishable synthesis of the hard work of hundreds of dedicated botanists andbiological professionals from within and far beyond the borders of Nevada. The risk in trying toacknowledge all of them here is that some will inadvertently omitted. To any who are left out, pleaseknow that your contributions are a valued part of this document.

First and foremost is Teri A. Knight, first Botanist for the Nevada Natural Heritage Program and mypredecessor, who for five years jump-started and amassed the botanical databases on which it has beenmy privilege to build. She handed over to a neophyte the product of her labors, with grace and gentlesupport for which I was and remain grateful.

Primary funding for this project was provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish andWildlife Service, with Grant EP-3-12 awarded under section 6 of the Endangered Species Act, and bythe State of Nevada, who provided matching funds. Virtually all of the daily activities of the NevadaNatural Heritage Program for the past 15 years contributed to this atlas as well, and were fundedvariously by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the NevadaBiodiversity Initiative, the U.S. Forest Service, The Nature Conservancy, and the State of Nevada.

All the data represented in this atlas were entered and are maintained using the Biological andConservation Data System (BCD) software, 1996 version, created by The Nature Conservancy (TNC)and now supported by their offshoot organization, the Association for Biodiversity Information (ABI).ABI serves as the umbrella organization for the international network of national, state, and provincialNatural Heritage Programs and Conservation Data Centers, of which the Nevada Natural HeritageProgram (NNHP) is a member. Most of the plant data forming this atlas were researched, assembled,analyzed, and entered into BCD by present and past staff of NNHP, including Eric Miskow, JenniferNewmark, Eric Peterson, Carrie Carreño, Kim Goodwin, Tom Jenni, Michael Strathdee, Kevin Cooper,Teri Knight, Kris Kuyper, and Glenn Clemmer. Eric Miskow in particular was also most gracious inallowing me many hours of access to his BCD workstation for further data entry, often on very shortnotice. In many cases, these people also gathered, or assisted me in gathering, new data during fieldsurveys.

Beyond NNHP, a substantial amount of the general species information compiled herein wasresearched and entered by the staff of other state Natural Heritage Programs, Conservation Data Centers,and of the central Heritage databases of ABI and TNC. This information is generally consideredreliable, though in the context of Nevada some may be outdated, or otherwise may not yet have beenreviewed by NNHP for relevance or accuracy within Nevada. Especially helpful have been the Natural

Heritage Program botanists in our neighboring states: California (Roxanne Bittman), Oregon (SueVrilakas, Jimmy Kagan), Idaho (Michael Mancuso, Robert Moseley), and Utah (Ben Franklin).

Nevertheless, most of the data assembled in Natural Heritage Program databases, in Nevada andelsewhere, originated outside those programs from the selfless contributions of numerous researchersand field workers interested in the timely conservation of species at risk. It is to these people and theirorganizations that I and NNHP are most especially grateful and indebted, and of whom it is mostdifficult to compile a comprehensive list. Many are acknowledged herein by the hundreds of literaturecitations of which they are authors. Many more, but probably not all, are included on theacknowledgments page of the Nevada Natural Heritage Program web site, (URL:http://www.state.nv.us/nvnhp/thanks.htm), or are listed as participants in recent Nevada Rare PlantWorkshops (URL: http://www.state.nv.us/nvnhp/workshop.htm). A comprehensive listing of thecollectors and authors of type specimens of Nevada plants can be found in Tiehm (1996). In addition tothose already mentioned above, the following have been especially generous in their recent contributionsand/or personal assistance (listed by organization if affiliated):

Thomas L. Ackerman, Glenn Clifton, Kristin F. Kuyper, Jackee Picciani, James L. Reveal, Frank J.(Buddy) Smith; The Nature Conservancy (Teri A. Knight, Janet L. Nachlinger, Daniel Pritchett);Northern Nevada Native Plant Society (Gary Monroe, Arnold Tiehm, Margaret J. Williams [deceased]);The New York Botanical Garden (Patricia K. Holmgren, Noel H. Holmgren, Rupert C. Barneby[deceased], Arthur Cronquist [deceased], Arnold Tiehm); Nevada State Museum (Ann Pinzl); Universityof Nevada system (Kathryn Birgy, David A. Charlet, Wesley E. Niles, Patrick J. Leary, Lloyd R. Stark);University of California system (Barbara Ertter); California State Lands Commission (Maurya Falkner);Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (Coleen Shade); Bureau of Land Management (Anne Halford, DeanKinerson, Gayle Marrs-Smith, Randy McNatt, Tim Rash, Gary Schoolcraft); National Park Service (JimHolland, Joe Sirotnak); U.S. Department of Energy and contractors (Kevin Blomquist, W. Kent Ostler);U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Janet Bair, Gina Glenne, Beth St. George); U.S. Forest Service (SteveAnderson, N. Duane Atwood, John W. Brack, Catherine Jean, Teresa Prendusi, Lisa Sims, KarenZamudio). The Curators of the following herbaria generously provided access to the data contained intheir collections: Nevada State Museum (NSMC), University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and Reno(RENO, NESH), Brigham Young University (BRY), Intermountain Herbarium, Utah State University(UTC), Rocky Mountain Herbarium, University of Wyoming (RM), The New York Botanical Garden(NY), University and Jepson Herbaria, University of California, Berkeley (UC, JEPS), and RanchoSanta Ana Botanic Garden (RSA, POM).

Deborah Mattie and Glenn Clemmer provided invaluable help in duplicating and assembling thepaper copies. Eric Peterson assisted in compiling and editing some of the map data layers, and sharedprogramming ideas that helped automate the production of maps. All of the maps in this Atlas weredesigned and printed using ArcView® version 3.2a software by Environmental Systems ResearchInstitute, Inc. (ESRI). The various data layers included on the maps were created and/or edited usingthis same software, and were in most cases based on data supplied by ESRI, the U.S. Geological Survey,the Biological Resources Research Center of the University of Nevada, Reno, or the Bureau of LandManagement.

INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS

This Nevada Rare Plant Atlas is extracted directly via automated means from the Biological andConservation Data System databases maintained at the Nevada Natural Heritage Program. It includes249 taxa of vascular plants, mosses, and lichens, out of 297 total taxa on the Nevada Natural HeritageProgram's Sensitive and Watch tracking lists, for which substantial location information has beenentered to date. Because data entry is in various stages of completion for different taxa, many of themaps and accompanying fact sheets do not reflect all that is known about particular taxa in Nevada.This will always remain true, as new data on Nevada's rarest plants are continually generated, gathered,and processed. For this reason, this atlas was produced in loose-leaf format to facilitate replacement andaddition of pages as new information becomes available.

The last, and to my knowledge the only other, attempt to produce a comprehensive atlas of Nevada'srarest and/or most imperiled plant species occurred 21 years ago with the publication of Threatened andEndangered Plants of Nevada: an illustrated manual (Mozingo and Williams, 1980). This wentsomewhat beyond the current work by providing excellent and detailed line drawings of most taxa, andconsistent, detailed descriptions and information on habitat and threats. This information has beenupdated for many, but not all, taxa included in the current atlas, and so it is inconsistent from one pageto the next. As information continues to be entered, these pages will be updated periodically. While theemphasis of Mozingo and Williams (1980) was to provide an identification manual, the focus of theNevada Rare Plant Atlas is to provide a synopsis of geographic distribution and current statusinformation for each taxon. The illustrations are therefore absent (but cited from the literature, alongwith sources for photographs, when known to exist), and the maps are greatly expanded. Mozingo andWilliams (1980) has become outdated with respect to the taxa currently of concern, and to ourknowledge of their distribution and status, but remains an excellent (and often virtually the only)reference for illustrations and descriptions of many taxa.

Many other useful references for identifying Nevada's rarest (and common) plants are listed in theGeneral References section below. Several rare plant field guides have been produced by the U.S.Forest Service and cooperating agencies for Nevada and the Intermountain Region (Anderson et al.1991; Atwood et al. 1990, 1991; Fertig et al. 1994; Weixelman and Atwood 1990). The ongoingIntermountain Flora series (Barneby 1989; Cronquist et al. 1972-1997), though technical in approach, isand will remain the foremost descriptive source for most of Nevada's common and rare vascular plants.The floras of neighboring states (Hickman 1993; Kearney and Peebles 1960; Welsh et al. 1987, 1993)are immensely useful for taxa not included in the Intermountain Flora series. There are many (mostlyrare) taxa endemic to Nevada, though, for which no modern floristic coverage exists. For these taxa,Mozingo and Williams (1980) and the present atlas may represent most of the recent informationavailable. The current list of all plant taxa tracked by the Nevada Natural Heritage Program ismaintained as the Detailed Rare Plant List on the Program's web site (URL:http://www.state.nv.us/nvnhp/plantdet.htm). The 297 taxa currently on this list represent about 10% ofthe vascular plant taxa known to grow without cultivation in Nevada.

The atlas maps, and many of the items on the accompanying rare plant fact sheets, are self-explanatory. In the Status section, the following abbreviations are used: USFWS/ESA = status underthe Endangered Species Act as administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and WildlifeService; BLM = U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management; USFS = U.S.Department of Agriculture, Forest Service; NNNPS = Northern Nevada Native Plant Society.

Occasionally a Nevada plant species has status assigned under IUCN (International Union for theConservation of Nature) or CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), inwhich cases these statuses are also shown. More information on all status designations, ranks, and codesis available on the Nevada Natural Heritage Program web site listed on the inside front cover.

In the Population Census section, numbers of entered occurrences are provided at two differentscales if the numbers differ: 0.1 mile (0.16 km) minimum separation between mapped locations, whichis the minimum mapping scale at which separate records are maintained by the Nevada Natural HeritageProgram internally, and 1 km (0.6 mile) minimum separation, which is an emerging nationwide standardfor estimating Heritage ranks. Other Natural Heritage Programs currently use standards somewherebetween these two extremes, so both are provided as indications of the minimum and maximum numberof "reportable" Nevada occurrences for each taxon. The total estimated individuals and area, whenprovided, are simply totals of the available numbers entered in BCD for Nevada occurrences. In manycases these numbers are not available for the majority of occurrences, and numbers followed by a +symbol reflect moderate to large underestimates of the true totals.

In the Phenology section, the survey months are given as a range that includes the 1-4 months inwhich the greatest number of surveys recorded for this taxon occurred. For example, at taxon withsurveys recorded only in May and July would be shown as May-July, surveys recorded in March, April,June, and July would be shown as March-July, and surveys recorded in May, June, July, August,September, and October, with the fewest in May and September, would be shown as June-October. Thisrange provides an indication only of when additional surveys are most likely to be successful; i.e.,when the taxon is most easily detected and identified, not necessarily when the taxon is in flower or anyother particular phenologic stage.

The references cited for each taxon are divided up into sections. References for knownphotographs and illustrations are cited first, and may refer either to the general references listedseparately at the end of this introductory section, or to specific references listed at the bottom of the factsheet. These listings are not necessarily complete, and sometimes additional references not cited underthese two headings may also contain photographs or illustrations. Any other general references notalready cited are then listed, followed by specific references for each taxon that are not included in thegeneral references. The general references are listed separately starting on page xvii of thisintroductory section. Therefore, to find the full citation for a reference, look first in the specificreferences on the fact sheet for the taxon in questions (if any), then in the general references.

As mentioned above, the information in some of the text sections of the fact sheets was in somecases entered by other state Natural Heritage Programs or Conservation Data Centers, and has not in allcases been reviewed for accuracy or currency relevant to Nevada. Any errors or discrepancies notedshould be brought to the attention of the Nevada Natural Heritage Program for further review.
