Full Species List of Wildflowers

Wildflowers, also known as herbs, are comprised of 805 species 

and represent more than half of the floral species diversity within 

the park. Almost 20% of these species are in the aster 

(Asteraceae) family, which contains many of the park’s lateblooming plants such as goldenrods (Solidago spp.), asters 

(Symphyotrichum spp.), and wild sunflowers (Helianthus spp.). 

The next most abundantly represented plant families are the pea 

(Fabaceae), lily (Lilaceae), mint (Lamiaceae) and mustard 

(Brassicaceae) families. The rich diversity of wildflowers in the 

park is particularly evident in spring at lower elevations along 

streams such as South River, Hughes River, Rose River, and Mill 

Prong. Later in the season, the banks of Skyline Drive and the Big 

Meadows area are great places to see summer and fall 

wildflowers. Threats to the park’s wildflowers include 

competition from invasive exotic plants, illegal plant collecting, 

and habitat changes brought about by climate change. 

This checklist was compiled on March 10, 2015 using data 

exported from the National Park Service NPSpecies database. The 

database can be accessed at https://irma.nps.gov/NPSpecies/.

Here you will find search tools that make it possible to create 

updated or customized lists. This checklist and others are found 

at https://irma.nps.gov/NPSpecies/Search/SpeciesList/SHEN. 

Lists are currently available for the following: mammals, birds, 

fish, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies, plants (complete list), trees 

and shrubs, wildflowers, ferns, and grasses. Please be advised 

that Latin scientific names often change as a result of new 

research; therefore, scientific names used here may not reflect 

the most current accepted nomenclature.

Code Term Definition

Occurrence (Occ) P Present Species occurs in park; current, reliable evidence available.

PP Probably Present High confidence species occurs in park but current, verified evidence needed.

Un Unconfirmed Species is attributed to park but evidence is weak or absent.

NP Not In Park Species is not known to occur in park.

Abundance (Abd) A Abundant Animals: May be seen daily, in suitable habitat and season, and counted in 

relatively large numbers. Plants, Chromista, Protozoa, and Fungi: Large number 

of individuals; wide ecological amplitude or occurring in habitats covering a large 

portion of the park

C Common Animals: May be seen daily, in suitable habitat and season, but not in large 

numbers. Plants, Chromista, Protozoa, and Fungi: Large numbers of individuals 

predictably occurring in commonly encountered habitats but not those covering 

a large portion of the park

Uc Uncommon Animals: Likely to be seen monthly in appropriate habitat and season. May be 

locally common. Plants, Chromista, Protozoa, and Fungi: Few to moderate 

numbers of individuals; occurring either sporadically in commonly encountered 

habitats or in uncommon habitats

R Rare Animals: Present, but usually seen only a few times each year. Plants, Chromista, 

Protozoa, and Fungi: Few individuals, usually restricted to small areas of rare 

habitat

Abundance (Abd) O Occasional Animals: Occurs in the park at least once every few years, varying in numbers, 

but not necessarily every year. Plants, Chromista, Protozoa, and Fungi: 

Abundance variable from year to year (e.g., desert plants)

U Unknown Abundance unknown

Nativeness (Nat) N Native Species naturally occurring in park or region.

Nn Non-native Species occurring on park lands as a result of deliberate or accidental human 

activities.

U Unknown Nativeness status is unknown or ambiguous.

Nativeness Tags R Restoration Also refers to reintroductions. Native species that has been extirpated or 

substantially diminished from the park as a result of human-induced change, and 

that has been or is in the process of being restored.

C Cultivated Species has been introduced or is maintained as part of the park's mission, 

significance, or cultural landscape (e.g., orchards, crops, fields)

I Invasive Non-native species whose introduction is likely to cause economic or 

environmental harm.

N Noxious Designation by a governmental authority. Species grows aggressively and has 

broad environmental tolerance that allows it to establish in many locations.

NPS Tag (Management) EC Exploitation 

Concern

Species is considered a target for collection, poaching, commercial harvesting, or 

other non-permitted or exploitative activities.

MP Management 

Priority

Species warrants particular management attention as determined by park 

management staff.

NPS Tag (Seasonality) B Breeder Population reproduces in the park.

R Resident A significant population is maintained in the park but does not breed within park 

boundaries.

M Migratory Species occurs in the park only while in transition between breeding and 

wintering grounds.

S Summer Typically spending only summer months in the park.

W Winter Typically spending only winter months in the park.

V Vagrant Park is outside of species' usual range.
