List of plants by common name (Sonoran Desert)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

This is a List of plants by common name for the Sonoran Desert regions of southern California, Arizona and the Mexican state of Sonora.

These include the sub-deserts of the Colorado Desert, Yuma Desert, Gran Desierto de Altar, Lechuguilla Desert, and Tule Desert (Arizona). Some of the plants can also be found in some environs of: Chihuahua, Baja California, Baja California Sur, and other states of Mexico, and Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

[edit] Nomenclature

  • The Common names of plants often vary from region to region. Thus the Latin" name — the Binomial nomenclature for "Genus" and "species" — need to be the final names used for identifying plants. ( Note: these botanical Latin names are occasionally subdivided further into variety, race, cultivar, and other subgroups by using a third name too.)
  • Many individual plant species have "multiple" common names. Some "See: x,y" references will be found in this list cross referencing those and shared common names.
