This is the revised second printing of the 5th edition of A Utah Flora, a comprehensive treatment of the vascular flora of Utah. All new taxa and distributional records discovered since the publication of the fourth edition in 2008 are included.
Keys are provided to families, genera, species, and infraspecific taxa (when present). Taxa are described, ecological data is given, and geographical information is provided. County distribution in Utah is given for each species and infraspecific taxon. General geographical information is given for taxa that extend beyond the boundaries of Utah. Chromosome numbers are provided for each taxon, where that information was available in the literature.
