FLORA of the TURNBULL NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

This site has been developed in support of the overall mission of the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. Most images posted are of taxa known to inhabit the Refuge (not all are native). The list is not complete and a few taxa shown have not been collected on the Refuge but are expected to be present. Images of some taxa present in the region but not present on the Refuge may be shown for comparison purposes. In each index, only those taxa that are underlined and appear colored are currently available for viewing. In almost all cases the taxonomy that is followed here is consistent with that posted and discussed at WTU - The Burke Museum/University of Washington Herbarium. The synonymy lists are taken from a variety of sources but largely are those of WTU. Please contact the author with comments or corrections to the site (RCARR.EWU.EDU). The website is largely taken from the more extensive Flora of Eastern Washington and Adjacent Idaho (site listed below). Both web-sites are freely provided for your enjoyment or for instructional and educational purposes. Any duplication or publication of text or images herein for commercial gain without explicit written permission of the owner or photographer constitutes breach of trust and violation of copyright.

Ours mostly herbaceous;  Stems with vascular bundles scattered throughout (not arranged in a single cylinder).  Leaves generally with parallel main veins, often linear to lanceolate and generally entire; flowers with parts in 3's (or multiples of 3's).  Grasses and sedges have highly reduced flowers  that don't fit the "3 part" flower character.		Woody or herbaceous; stems with vascular bundles arranged in a cylinder around a central pith or, in woody species,  in cylindrical layers; leaves  generally with reticulate (netted) venation, many different shapes;  flowers with parts numerous or in 4's or 5's or multiples thereof.		Non flowering vascular plants; can be divided into those that reproduce by seeds ("Gymnosperms" ex. pines, firs, etc.) and those that reproduce by spores only (ferns and "fern allies").
