Inventory of Plant Species of Special Concern and the General Flora of Dinosaur National Monument

Abstract

Field surveys during the second year (1988) of a botanical inventory of Dinosaur National Monument (DNM) concentrated in the Yampa River Canyon, its tributaries and selected adjacent uplands, and on Wild Mountain. Inventory efforts focused on areas not represented in historical collection records and on habitats with a high probability of supporting rare plant taxa. A museum research conponent was added to the study in the second year.
