Endemic Plants of Wyoming
Wyoming has many endemic plants (species whose distribution is limited to the state). As of September, 2003, approximately 45 plants were recognized as being unique to Wyoming, including 30 species, 13 subspecies, 2 hybrids and 1 endemic genus (Yermo). Due to limited distribution, many endemic species are vulnerable to human disturbance. Several of these plants are included on the BLM Sensitive Species list.
