Abstract:

This seed and plant guide contains descriptions of almost 250 native and non-native (introduced) plants and seeds used by the U. S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Great Basin region of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and California. It is a partial list of the grasses, forbs (wildflowers and herbaceous legumes) and shrubs available from commercial seed vendors in very limited to good quantities. The plants described are mostly considered to be plants found in aridland sites (less than 12 inches mean annual rainfall) and does not include herbaceous wetland/riparian plants. The target audience includes natural resource specialists and other technical specialists who utilize seeds in BLM projects. The appendices include more detailed information on seeding depth, effective annual precipitation for Great Basin plants, seed characteristics, the minimum pure live seed (PLS) rate for BLM, native plant species by Ecoregion (EPA, Level III), commercial sources for seed, and a list of publications on plants and seeds.
