STEWART MEADOWS PLANT SPECIES LIST Prepared by Jim McGrath, Field Botanist, 20 Robin Ct., Edgewood, New Mexico, August 30, 2008. The majority of the recorded plant species were recorded during the summer and autumn of 2006 as part of a botanical inventory at Stewart Meadows. A * to the left of a scientific name indicates a non-native species. A *(?) to the left of the scientific name indicates a species whose non-native status is uncertain. A (??) to the right of the scientific name indicates an educated guess as to the identity of a species. Such species need to be re-collected when flowers and/or fruits are available. SY indicates a scientific name by which a species was known prior to a recent name change. Nomenclature mostly follows Allred (2004). Non-native status was primarily derived from Allred (2004) and Cox (2001). SPECIES
