Plants of Nachusa Grasslands

Native Plant Species
The preserve is home to over 700 native plant species. Our plant inventory includes not only the scientific and common names, but also a plant's coefficient of conservatism value. The nomenclature and coefficient of conservatism (C value) follow:  Wilhelm & Rericha 2016. Flora of Chicago. NA values are moss or liverworts, not included in Flora of Chicago. The coefficient of conservatism assigns each native species a number from 0 to 10. The coefficient of conservatism (C) expresses the confidence that a plant specimen was found in a remnant natural plant community, a “0” expressing no confidence and a “10” expressing total confidence.
