Black Range website photo galleries: The images in the galleries have not been thoroughly vetted but are believed to be accurately identified.
In some cases the SEINet listing could not be verified for the Black Range, as noted above. There may be several reasons why this is the case, including; inconsistencies found on the specimen sheets which clouded the area of collection, and a certain lack of “search capability” on the part of the editor. Most importantly, however, the entries listed in light blue should serve as a guide for the efforts of future collectors.
Vascular Plants of the Gila Wilderness is the premier botanical website for southwestern New Mexico. We all owe a debt to Russ Kleinman and the many other contributors to that site for the work they have done (and regularly do).
The “verification listing” has no other significance than the fact that the indicated source was used for initial verification. It does not indicate, for example, that the specified location is the best location to see the species.
Scientific names may be subject to challenge. The species name used here generally follows the nomenclature used in Vascular Plants of the Gila Wilderness. In some cases speciation determinations may be in dispute. In some cases the “generally accepted name” may be in dispute.
Unless there is no accepted English common name for a species, at least one of the most common names is listed.
Other Volumes
This checklist is the first volume in a planned three-volume set. All three volumes present the same information (except there will be minor variations due to digital updates) but it is arrayed differently.
✦ Plant species are listed in alphabetical order by family name, and then by scientific species name, in this volume. This volume includes a listing of the plant collectors who collected the specimens referenced in the checklist.
✦ In the second volume, species will be listed in alphabetical order by scientific species name. The second volume will list the sites most frequently referenced in the checklist and provide a general description of their locations.
✦ In the third volume, species will be listed in alphabetical order by English common name.
We currently anticipate that Volumes Two and Three will be issued prior to the end of 2020.
Second Edition
We plan one more edition of this checklist, to be issued during the second quarter (calendar year) of 2021.
Your help in improving this, the first edition, will be reflected in the second edition. No further editions are planned at this time.
