Collections with reliable coordinates are shown in yellow. The above categorizations are made using the Dominant Vegetation designations from Utah SGID reorganized into the present categories (following Welsh, et al., A Utah Flora, third ed., 2003). These category populations are not meant to be a rigorous scientific determination of the local habitat of each specimen.
