INTRODUCTION 

This Annotated Catalogue of Saskatchewan Vascular Plants is a compilation of 

the native and naturalized pteridophytes, conifers and flowering plants recorded in the 

uncultivated flora of Saskatchewan. It represents an updating of the floral listings in 

Harms (2003). Since publication of the latter, numerous taxonomic (and resultant 

nomenclatural) changes have been proposed by recent revisionary studies, often with 

molecular data inputs reinterpreting genetic relationships, and subsequently published 

since early 2003 have been eight additional volumes of the presently ongoing Flora of 

North America (FNA) series. Also, since 2003, the Biota of North America Project 

(BONAP) (Kartesz & Meacham, 1999-2006) plant list has undergone revisions. To 

remain relatively current, regional floral lists and manuals require periodic updating that 

incorporates newly available taxonomic information. 

Most recently proposed taxonomic revisions with their associated name changes 

have been accepted in this catalogue, especially if included in published volumes of the 

Flora of North America (FNA), or alternatiovely by the Biota of North America Project 

(BONAP) (Kartesz & Meacham, 2006). But, when personal experience with regard to 

particular plant groups contradicted recent innovations, my preferred alternative 

taxonomic interpretations are followed in this catalogue. 

In this catalogue, the plant families are alphabetically arranged under the 

following three major vascular plant groups: I. Pteridophytes (Fern Allies and True 

Ferns); II. Gymnosperms: Conifers (Cone-bearing Naked-seed Plants); and III. 

Angiosperms (Flowering Plants). In turn, the genera, species, subspecies, and varieties 

are listed alphabetically under their respective families. Taxonomic forms (formae) are 

not included. For each taxon entry, the accepted scientific name is given with its 

authorship, followed by its common name(s). With non-standardization of plant common 

names, various ones may be used for any one species, and the more frequent ones are 

given here. A more comprehensive listing of common names is provided in Harms 

(2003). Listed in square brackets following the common names, are the more important 

scientific synonyms with their authorships, allowing for the interconnecting and 

interrelating of alternative names for taxa that may be found in presently used floral 

manuals and reference sources. More comprehensive synonomy lists are found in Harms 

(2003). Cross-referencing is provided for alternate names often used in more recent 

literature for genus-level name changes, although nor for changed species’ epithets within 

a genus which the listed synonyms should help to clarify. 

Finally, following the synonymy list for each listed taxon, brief status indicators 

are given using the following abbreviations as defined below for presence/origin status, 

and for rarity/abundance status: 

Presence and Origin Indicators: 

N -- native taxa: the indigenous or original species in Saskatchewan prior to 

European settlement. 

In -- naturalized exotic taxa (broadly defined as all non-native plant taxa, whether 

3

deliberately or accidentally introduced, that have become established in the 

natural flora, excluding cultivated plants and adventive plants never 

becoming naturally established). 

ADV? -- introduced taxa that possibly may be either only adventive (casual) rather than 

truly established (naturalized), or not persistent to the present if temporarily 

established. 

VER? -- reported taxa, whether native or introduced, presumed likely to be present in 

Saskachewan, but lacking firm confirmation. Those previously reported taxa 

lacking confirmation, that are deemed unlikely to be present, or with reportbases 

shown to be erroneous, have been excluded from the main catalogue, 

but are listed in Appendix 1. 

HYB -- a hybrid taxon. 

Rarity/Abundance Designations Assigned for Native Taxa: 

N EXT? -- probably extirpated (recorded previously but apparently no longer existing 

in the province). 

N END -- endangered (critically threatened by human or natural factors with extirpation 

throughout all of its Saskatchewan range because of extreme rarity). 

Typically 5 or fewer sites in the province or locally sparse at all sites. 

N THR -- threatened (imperiled by its rarity and likely to become endangered in 

Saskatchewan). Typically found at 6–15 sites in the province and mostly 

locally sparse. 

N VUL -- vulnerable (at risk because of low or declining numbers and thus of special 

concern, but with no obvious immediate endangerment). Typically found at 

16–25 sites in the province and locally sparse at many. 

N UC -- uncommon (apparently secure in Saskatchewan but of potential long-term 

concern because not frequent or numerous in the flora). 

N FC -- fairly common and reasonably secure in Saskatchewan. 

N C -- common (many occurrences and apparently secure in Saskatchewan). 

N CC -- very common or abundant (demonstrably secure with many widespread 

occurrences in Saskatchewan and often locally numerous). 

N U? -- status uncertain in Saskatchewan due to limited or confused information. 

N UR? -- rare, with status undetermined pending more information. 

N ? -- a question mark following any abbreviation denotes uncertainty because of 

limited information. 

Rarity/Abundance Designations Assigned for Naturalized Introduced Taxa: 

In ADV? -- introduced and possible adventive; introduced plant taxa whose naturalized 

presence in Saskatchewan is questioned. 

In R -- single or very few known occurrences. 

In UC -- uncommon (not common or numerous in the flora). 

In FC -- fairly common. 

In C -- common (many occurrences). 

In CC -- very common or abundant (with many widespread occurrences and usually 

locally numerous). 

In U? -- status uncertain in Saskatchewan because of limited information. 

4

In ? -- a question mark following any abbreviation denotes uncertainty because of 

limited information. 

. 

The rarity/abundance categories are based on the author’s personal judgements. 

They are not given for plant taxa lacking certain verification in the province nor for 

putative hybrids. 

In addition, for those native taxa deemed of provincial rarity concern (e.g., EXT?, 

END, THR, and VUL), the Nature Conservancy provincial (“S”) rarity rankings 

(“Element Ranks”), as assigned by the Saskatchewan Conservation Data Centre (1998, 

2000), are given in parentheses following my designations. These Nature Conservancy 

Element Ranks are briefly defined as follows: 

RANKS DEFINITIONS OF RANKS 

X Presumed extinct (globally) or extirpated (provincially). After intensive searching, 

there appears virtually no likelihood of rediscovery. 

H Historical occurrence only, without recent verification, so possibly extinct (or 

extirpated), but thorough searches are still needed to preclude it being extant. 

1 Critically imperiled because of extreme rarity or some factor(s) making it 

particularly vulnerable to extinction (or extirpation). Typically 5 or fewer 

occurrences, or very few remaining individuals (

Some Latin words or abbreviations frequently associated with botanical nomenclature 

that may be encountered in the present list, include the following: 

Abbrev. Latin Term English Meaning 

auct. auctor = “of authors” -- a name used by some authors, but 

not considered a true taxonomic synonym. 

ex = “according to” -- refers to an author first validly 

publishing a plant name, but crediting another. 

nom. illeg. = name illegitimate acc. to I.C.B.N. 

non = “not” 

incl. includens = “including” 

s.str. sensu stricto = “in a narrow sense” 

s.lat. sensu lato = “in a broad sense” 

p.p. pro parte = “in part” 

sphalm. sphalmate = “by mistake” – usually referring to longpersistent 

spelling errors.

APPENDIX 1 

VASCULAR PLANTS EXCLUDED FROM 

THE FLORA OF SASKATCHEWAN 

This list of excluded taxa includes plants that were variously reported or listed for 

Saskatchewan, but whose natural occurrence in the province appears unsubstantiated and 

unconvincing. Erroneous reports were often based on misidentified specimens or 

misapplied names, at other times on inaccurate location data on collection labels, and 

sometimes on overly broad range descriptions ascribed to species in the literature. The 

following list of plants excluded from Saskatchewan’s natural flora is alphabetically 

arranged strictly by the plant scientific names, without assortment into families or higher 

groups. For each species’ entry, after the accepted scientific name and any important 

synonyms, is given its family in parentheses. Cross-referencing of synonyms is provided 

for recent name changes at the generic-level.
