Plants of the Santa Fe River Canyon

Numbers in the last column indicate months (e.g. 4 = April) in which flowering was observed. Introduced species that were probably planted in or near the canyon are marked "cultivated." Introduced species that are abundant or likely to become bothersome are marked with an asterisk. Recently planted natives are marked “reintroduced.”
