Taxonomic tables for Mount Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades National Parks

These tables provide taxonomic information pertaining to the collection and analysis of vegetation data for the North Coast and Cascades Network vegetation mapping projects for Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks. Table 1 lists the plant taxa that were documented at plots during the projects. For each entry, we give the current accepted scientific name according to Hitchcock and Cronquist (2018), the name used during fieldwork and analysis, the corresponding common name, the botanic family, physiognomic lifeform category, and the number of records from each NCCN park. Table 2 documents the sub-generic level taxa we created to make floristic analysis possible for taxa with small numbers of species-level records or composed of both species-level field calls with large numbers of genus-level calls. See the main park reports for more information about the floristic analysis and lumping process.
