Appendix D Plant species list The species list was compiled during the Petrified Forest National Park vegetation mapping project from data collected on classification relevés and from accuracy assessment observation sites, and observations of photointerpreters Locations for each plant were recorded in the respective databases for these field efforts. In some cases, the taxonomy of the species has changed since the original field work. We have kept the taxonomy used in the database, but have annotated this list to indicate where there have been updates in the International Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, http:// www.itis.gov) as of July 2008. This species list was compared to the currently published flora of the park (Hansen and Thomas 2006). Some species in the list were identified to subspecies or variety level, but that taxonomic level has not been identified in flora. Also, some species were not identified to the subspecies level, where they are in the flora. Some species appear to be new additions to the flora; however, they were not verified as no voucher specimen was collected. This list can be used as one guide to querying the field databases. In most cases, the species list gives a direct reference to the plant as it occurs in both the classification and accuracy assessment databases. For example, if the identity of a potentially new species to the flora, e.g. Yucca glauca, was to be verified in the field and a voucher collected, the field locations of the plant can be accessed by querying either database using the scientific name or TSN code. Two hundred seventy-six species, representing 42 families, were found during the field work. Asteraceae was represented by the most species (73), followed by Poaceae (50 species), Chenopodiaceae (19 species), and Polygonaceae (14 species). Eleven non-native species were noted. In the following table, the fields and their contents and sources are ● Family and scientific name. The taxonomic name for the plant according to Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, http://www.itis.gov) at the time of the field work. ● Common name. The common name for the plant according to ITIS. In some cases the ITIS common name is not the common name used regionally or by NatureServe. Where that is the case, we have included other regional common names. ● TSN code. The ITIS Taxonomic Serial Number (TSN), accessed July 2008. ● Synonym. The taxonomic name for the plant current to July 2008, if the taxonomy for the plant has changed since the fieldwork. ● Non-native. Plants that are listed as non-native by the USDA PLANTS Database (http:// plants.usda.gov/) are indicated. D1
