Rare Plants of Bryce Canyon National Park
Scheltz CD. 1990. Rare Plants of Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce Canyon National Park, UT
The typed introductory pages describe an extensive project at Bryce Canyon National Park to identify the rare and endangered plant species. Information collected includes photos, descriptions, references, drawings, ecology, and known locations of each species. A map shows all known locations of the 12 species in and around the park. The location information was gathered from speciments of the Bryce Canyon and the BYU herbariums, and from the data base of the Natural Heritage Program of the Nature Convervancy in Salt Lake City. While non of the 12 plants identified was federally listed at the time, 10 had been proposed for classification as Threatened or Endangered. All of the species need close monitoring because of their very limited distribution, and further studies are recommended to add to the presently-limited knowledge of each of these species.
