NATIVE INVASIVE PLANT LIST - Nevada …

1 Appendix J: NATIVE & INVASIVE PLANT List J-1 APPENDIX J NATIVE & INVASIVE PLANT LIST The following tables capture the referenced plants , NATIVE and INVASIVE species, found throughout this document. The Wildlife Action Plan Team elected to only use common names for plants to improve the readability, particular for the general reader. However, common names can create confusion for a variety of reasons. Common names can change from region-to-region; one common name can refer to more than one species; and common names have a way of changing over time.

2 For example, there are two widespread species of greasewood in Nevada , and numerous species of sagebrush. In everyday conversation generic common names usually work well. But if you are considering management activities, landscape restoration or the habitat needs of a particular wildlife species, the need to differentiate between PLANT species and even subspecies suddenly takes on critical importance. This appendix provides the reader with a cross reference between the common PLANT names used in this document s text, and the scientific names that link common names to the precise species to which writers referenced.

3 With regards to INVASIVE plants , all species listed under the Nevada Revised Statute 555 (NRS 555) as a Noxious Weed will be notated, within the larger table, as such. A noxious weed is a PLANT that has been designated by the state as a species of PLANT which is, or is likely to be, detrimental or destructive and difficult to control or eradicate (NRS ). To assist the reader, we also included a separate table detailing the noxious weeds, category level (A, B, or C), and the typical habitats that these species invade.
