U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Natural Resource Program Center Fort Collins, Colorado The National Park Service, Natural Resource Program Center publishes a range of reports that address natural resource topics of interest and applicability to a broad audience in the National Park Service and others in natural resource management, including scientists, con- servation and environmental constituencies, and the public.

The Natural Resource Technical Report Series is used to disseminate results of scientifi c stud- ies in the physical, biological, and social sciences for both the advancement of science and the achievement of the National Park Service mission. The series provides contributors with a forum for displaying comprehensive data that are often deleted from journals because of page limitations.

All manuscripts in the series receive the appropriate level of peer review to ensure that the in- formation is scientifi cally credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and designed and published in a professional manner. This report received informal peer review by subject-matter experts who were not directly involved in the collection, analy- sis, or reporting of the data.

Views, statements, fi ndings, conclusions, recommendations, and data in this report are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily refl ect views and policies of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.

Abstract

In 2005–2006, the National Park Service’s Northern Colorado Plateau Network received funding to develop a revised checklist of the fl ora of Arches National Park. This entailed a thorough review of existing literature, re-examination of specimens from the Arches National Park herbarium and other state and national museum collections, and additional fi eld work to corroborate unverifi ed species reports or locate new species. Based on this study, 522 vascular plant taxa have been confi rmed or reliably reported as occuring in the park (485 are known from validated herbarium specimens and 37 from unvouchered literature reports). Another 50 species formerly considered part of the park fl ora have now been shown to be falsely reported. The current fl ora of Arches National Park represents 14.5% of the known fl ora of Utah, and 30.8% of the fl ora of the Colorado Plateau ecoregion within Utah. At least 30 of these species are considered species of concern by the state natural heritage program. Introduced plants make up 14.4% of the park fl ora (75 species), of which six species are considered noxious weeds by the State of Utah. Further surveys in Arches National Park are likely to fi nd additional new species (146 are known from similar habitats outside the park bound- ary), especially among late fl owering, weedy, or wetland taxa.

Acknowledgements

We would like to thank the following individuals for their assistance with this project: Dr. Angela Evenden, botanist and former leader of the Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) program in Moab, Utah, was an active proponent of this project and helped secure funding for fi eld work and herbarium studies in 2006. Vicki Webster, curator of museum collections for the National Park Service Southeast Utah Group (SEUG), provided access to all mounted and unmounted herbarium specimens from Arches National Park, as well as work space within the museum vaults. Charlie Schelz, biologist with SEUG, provided research permits for work in 2005–2006, and shared his unmounted plant collections. Libby Nance, former database specialist with the NCPN, assisted with development and quality control of the park’s NPSpecies database. Libby Nance, Janet Coles, and Helen Thomas also provided data from recent vegetation mapping and wetland inventories on the park. Drs. Stanley Welsh and Duane Atwood provided access to herbarium collections at Brigham Young University. Dr. Michael Piep provided access to collections at the Utah State University (Intermountain) herbarium. Dr. Ron Hartman and Ernie Nelson provided access and specimen loans from the Rocky Mountain Herbarium at the University of . Thanks to the technical reviewers (Dr. Angela Evenden, Dr. Dusty Perkins, and Libby Nance) for their comments and suggestions. To any others who we may have inadvertently forgotten, please accept our apologies (and thanks).

Research was conducted under permit # ARCH-2006-SCI-0007 for study number ARCH-00033. Funding was provided by the National Park Service through the University of Wyoming.

Codes: TNC global rank assesses abundance and conservation priority on a scale of 1–5 (1 being extremely vulnerable and 5 being secure) for full species (G) and varieties or subspecies (T) across their entire range. A “?” indicates uncertainty in the rank, Q = taxonomic questions, U = unknown, and NR = not ranked. A comparable scoring system is used to measure state abundance (S) in Utah under the column UTCDC status. Under legal status, USFWS = U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. C2 = Category 2 candidate (a former category used for taxa that might warrant being proposed for threatened or endangered status following additional research). 3C = Category 3 candidates (species dropped from consideration for listing). USFS = U.S. Forest Service. UT BLM = U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Utah offi ce. UTCDC status includes conservation categories adopted by the state natural heritage program to prioritize endemic and rare plant taxa (UDWR 1998). These categories include: Historical (presumed extinct or only known historically through their range), Rare (plants with rangewide viability concerns), Watch (regional endemics without rangewide viability concerns), Peripheral (rare or uncommon in Utah, but more common rangewide), Infrequent (plants occur infrequently over western U.S.), Taxonomic Problems (validity of species, subspecies, or variety has been questioned), Additional Data (species appear rare, but more information needed before being assigned to a different category).

Source (Appendix A) Sources are the evidence for the assigned park status. In the case of Present and Historical taxa, sources are her- barium records (with collector, collection number, and repository) that were corroborated during this study. For reported taxa, the source is a published or unpublished reference citing the species within the park. Specimen repositories include the Arches National Park herbarium (ARCH), Brigham Young University (BRY), Utah State University (USU), New York Botanical Garden (NY), and the University of Wyoming’s Rocky Mountain Herbarium (RM).
