Abstract/Summary:
The vascular flora of the Henry Mountains is examined based on personal field collections, on other specimens in the Brigham Young University Herbarium and the Garrett Herbarium at the University of Utah, and on documented literature citations. Reported are 755 taxa in 317 genera and 76 families.; An annotated checklist of taxa gives brief descriptions of diagnostic characters and habitat, frequency of occurrence, and specimen citations.; The composition of the flora indicates that diverse phytogeographic units have contributed to the vegetation; affinities appear to lie especially with the arid plateau lands to the southwest.
