Welcome to our archive of photographs of the plants of the Gila Wilderness. There are approximately 1500 species of vascular plants in our study area. About 650 of the species are currently depicted here. The archive is organized by family, scientific name, and also by common name. You will find the most information and more photos if you look under the family name; the links from the scientific or common name alphabetical lists will only bring up one photo per listing.

If you have additional information, have a correction, or want to contact us, please e-mail Russ Kleinman to sparks@zianet.com.

We hope that you find these photos useful for educational purposes. They are free for you to use as you wish. We would appreciate that credit for the photos be given to the Western New Mexico University Department of Natural Sciences and the Dale A. Zimmerman Herbarium. We are grateful for the help of a great number of people, including Dr. William Norris and his wife Denise Friedrick, Dr. Dale Zimmerman and his wife Marian, Dr. Jack Carter and his wife Martha, Dr. Richard Felger and his wife Silke Schneider, to Dr. Karen Blisard for her enduring patience, and to the many members of the Gila Native Plant Society who have provided encouragement and expertise.
