How this list is made
Derived from each plant's native-range record, checked against Kew's World Checklist of Vascular Plants and USDA PLANTS with every decision on a ledger; New Hampshire is read off the record's own range, and the order is how many of the state's counties record each plant, as stored in the BloomsEye library, which was written with AI assistance. Of these 144 plants, 135 have been checked against outside sources (1 fully verified); the rest have not been checked yet, and each plant's own page says which. The cards are AI-generated illustrations.

FoliageRecorded across New Hampshire
How many of the state's 10 counties record each wild species growing wild, from USDA PLANTS: a plant recorded in many counties is widespread in New Hampshire; one recorded in few may be local, or simply under-recorded. A county's absence is not evidence a plant is absent. 115 of the wild species carry a county record here.
