BALD MOUNTAIN, UINTAS PLANT LIST Prepared by the Wasatch Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society for areas above 10,500 feet on Bald Mountain, Uinta Mountains, Utah. Originally compiled in 1993 with the assistance of Elizabeth Neese. Partially revised by Bill Gray June, 2018, with the goal of bringing nomenclature more up to date. Scientific names are based on what appears to be current consensus, not any one source. A few synonyms are given, most of which relate to 'A Utah Flora' (Welsh et al., 6th Edition, 2016). Some older family names are shown in square brackets.
