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; Oklahoma 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 185 plants, 166 have been checked against outside sources (5 fully verified); the rest have not been checked yet, and each plant's own page says which. The cards are AI-generated illustrations.
