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; Yukon is read off the record's own range, and the order is how many of the record's areas each plant reaches, then by name, as stored in the BloomsEye library, which was written with AI assistance. All 26 of these plants have been checked against outside sources; each plant's own page shows its sources. The cards are AI-generated illustrations.
