NEVADA RARE PLANT ATLAS
INDEX TO MAPS AND FACT SHEETS
DISCLAIMER: Much new information on locations, biology, and conservation status Nevada's rare plants has accumulated since June of 2001, and many rare plant species have been added to our tracking lists. Until this Atlas can be updated, it should be used only as a general guide to the geographic distribution and status of rare plants in Nevada. For the most current information on Nevada's rare plants, see our tracking lists of at-risk species.
This index lists all plant taxa on the Nevada Natural Heritage Program's at-risk and watch lists as of 8 August 2001, whether or not included in the current Nevada Rare Plant Atlas. Atlas fact sheets and maps are available and linked for over 80% of these taxa. PLEASE NOTE THAT INFORMATION FOR SOME SPECIES MAY BE INCOMPLETE OR OUT OF DATE. Please read the atlas text sections for further information on the sources and limitations of the data represented on the maps and fact sheets, and for general references cited only in brief in the fact sheets. Fact sheets are saved in PDF format and require the free Adobe® Acrobat® Reader plug-in if not already installed on your system. Images, when available as links from our images page, are indicated with a link to that page, following which you must scroll manually to the species of interest. Updated maps and fact sheets will be generated and posted as time and resources permit, as the data comprising them are constantly being generated and updated.
Map Printing and Display: Due to storage limitations, the map images linked to this web page are not reproduced at their original printed resolution (600 dpi in 8.5x11 inch format). They are instead produced at 105 dpi (dots-per-inch) resolution, which results in grainy but acceptably readable output when printed or displayed. When you click on a map link, the first image that displays is formatted for best printing results, even though the screen display may appear degraded. To best approximate an original printed version: change the page set-up or format in your browser to eliminate all headers and footers and change all margins to their smallest possible value, then print pages 1 to 1 of this version. Recent versions of MS Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers printing to laserjet printers should work well. If you wish to view the map in its best display quality on your screen, simply click anywhere in the first map image and you will receive a second image at maximum available resolution.
