How this list is made
Derived from each plant's native-range record, checked against Kew's World Checklist of Vascular Plants and USDA PLANTS with every decision on a ledger; Oregon is read off the record's own range, and the order is how many of the state's counties record each plant, as stored in the BloomsEye library, which was written with AI assistance. Of these 27 plants, 21 have been checked against outside sources; the rest have not been checked yet, and each plant's own page says which. The cards are AI-generated illustrations.

Recorded across Oregon
How many of the state's 36 counties record each wild species growing wild, from USDA PLANTS: a plant recorded in many counties is widespread in Oregon; one recorded in few may be local, or simply under-recorded. A county's absence is not evidence a plant is absent. 12 of the wild species carry a county record here.
