Plants of the MPG Ranch and western Montana

by Jeffrey S. Pippen | Jeff's Plant Pages | Jeff's Nature Pages
This is the beginning of a preliminary photo guide to the plants (mostly forbs and woody plants so far) of the MPG Ranch in western Montana. Additional species will be added periodically as the current draft has only a small fraction of the 500+ species documented at MPG. Plants are arranged phylogenetically by family and alphabetically within each family (or occasionally by similarity within family to juxtapose similar species for comparitive purposes). Numbers in parentheses correspond to page numbers introducing that family in Lesica (2012) Manual of Montana Vascular Plants.
