Rare Plants Amoureuxia gonzalezii Erigeron rhizomatus Amsonia kearneyana Coryphantha recurvata

Published in 2000 by the U.S. Government Printing Office, this book was produced by the Arizona Rare Plant Committee, a collaboration of agencies and organizations, including AZNPS.

The guide lists more than 125 species of plants that are rare in Arizona. For each species there is a description, including phenology, management responsibility, habitat, range, and notes. Beautiful drawings and color photos illustrate each species, along with a very general map. In addition, the species are listed not only by botanical name, but also by management responsibility (e.g., Coconino National Forest), and by county.

The complete text of the book can be downloaded for free, below.

A limited number of books are available free from the sponsoring organizations. Copies may be obtained from Forest Service offices, Arizona Native Plant Society, the Arizona Nature Conservancy, and botanical gardens. AZNPS still has some copies and can be ordered from us. Send $4 to cover postage to AZNPS, PO Box 41206, Tucson, AZ 85717.
