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; Quebec is read off the record's own range, and the order is how many of the record's areas each plant reaches, then by name, as stored in the BloomsEye library, which was written with AI assistance. Of these 52 plants, 42 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.
