Wild Plants of Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve

Grouped by Growth Form Alphabetical by Scientific Name

This document contains a comprehensive list of the wild plants reported to be found in Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve.

The plants are grouped according to their growth form for easy accessibility. These four groups are: Ferns & Horsetails, Grasses & Grasslike, Herbaceous, and Woody.

The plants within each group are listed alphabetically by scientific name. Other information on each plant includes the common name, family, whether the plant is native or introduced, and its longevity.

For quick reference, the upper left corner of each page displays both the group name (based on growth form) and the genus of the first scientific name.

The abbreviations used:
