Kesonie DT and Hartman RL. 2011. A floristic inventory of Grand Teton National Park, Pinyon Peak Highlands, and vicinity, Wyoming, U.S.A.. Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas. Botanical Research Institute of Texas.. 5(1):357-388
Federal lands totaling 766 mi2 (198,393 ha) of Grand Teton National Park, the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway, Bridger-Teton National Forest (Pinyon Peak Highlands), and Targhee National Forest (Wyoming’s northern portion) were inventoried. Collected were 8,002 vouchers of vascular plants at 375 locations. They represent 962 unique taxa (904 species) in 347 genera and 86 families. For the Park and Parkway proper, the relevant numbers are 909 unique taxa (861 species, 42 infraspecies, and 6 hybrids); 112 of which are new records. One escaped ornamental was documented as new to the State. Species of conservation concern (Wyoming Natural Diversity Database) totaled 42. Exotics to North America (72 unique taxa) represented 7.5 percent of the flora, a relatively low number when compared to similar inventories in Wyoming.
