About the Endangered Plants of Arizona Map

Explore the unique botanical extremes of the Sonoran Desert in this Endangered Plant Map of Arizona. You’ll see the least-observed endangered plants by county (as logged on iNaturalist.org). Many of these plants only occur in small regions of the state and some with as few as one observation! From the rare Ajo Mountain Scrub Oak in Pima County to the more prevalent Fishhook Barrel Cactus of Graham County, each one of these plants has been designated as some level of vulnerability. The critically endangered Lemmon’s Fleabane has only one observation on iNaturalist for all of Cochise County.

Extensively researched and originally hand drawn in pencil, this illustration has been inked and colored digitally then printed on high-quality Red River Polar Matte 60lb paper. The first of more state maps to come, this Arizona Plant Map takes the US Native and Endangered Plant Map to a more detailed, county level. You can use it to find out more about Arizona’s diverse ecosystems so you can begin to identify these plants while you’re out on your adventures.

About the Phoenix Native Spring Botanical Poster

Beyond the showy blooms, this artwork highlights the vital yet often overlooked native annuals. While not as colorful, they play crucial roles in the desert ecosystem. These resilient plants, sometimes mistakenly labeled as “weeds,” provide essential shelter for native insects, sustenance for wildlife, and contribute to improving soil health.

Meticulously hand-drawn from local specimens, this print features a range of commonly found flora in urban Phoenix during springtime. From the intriguingly named yet edible Povertyweed to the charming California Poppy, artist Jen Urso shines a light on the fascinating plant life that thrives in this unique environment. Her research, supported by resources like iNaturalist and the Native American Ethnobotany Database, ensures that this artwork celebrates both the eye-catching and the unsung heroes of the desert landscape.
