pretty_name: USDA US Plants Database by State

Sourced from USDA website, open published by working groups which collected this data amidst their work as they identified plants growing within each state, in the field.

From the USDA website: "NRCS personnel and cooperators can download an NRCS State Plants List which includes Symbol, Synonym Symbol, Scientific Name with Authors, preferred State Common Name, and Family. Fields in the State Plants text file are delimited by commas and enclosed in double quotes. You can import this file into many databases or spreadsheets. For example, first save the .txt file, then open in Microsoft Excel by specifying "Text Files" in the file type scroll box, and import by specifying "Comma" as the delimiter. Or use the file directly in Excel: copy it from the screen, paste it into a new worksheet, and select "Text to Columns..." from the Data menu. To begin the download, please click your preferred state on the map or list of states below.

For questions about the State Plants List for your area please contact your State Plants Coordinator"
