This online guide is an adaptation of our Field Guide to the Rare Plants of Washington, which was published in 2011 with the intent to aid amateur and professional botanists in the identification of our state's rare plant species.  With the inclusion of descriptions from an earlier version of the guide, this online source now includes 341 vascular plants, 16 mosses and one lichen.  Each treatment includes information on identification, phenology, range, habitat, ecology, state status, inventory needs, threats, and references. Species and habitat photos, line drawings and distribution maps are also included. An Android version is available for mobile applications. 

 

The printed version of the guide is the culmination of a cooperative venture between the Washington State Department of Natural Resources' Natural Heritage Program (WNHP), the Spokane District of the U.S.D.I. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Washington Native Plant Society, the University of Washington Herbarium at Burke Museum, and the University of Washington Press. Funding for this online version was provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
