A Few New Mexico Non-Flowering Plants

 

This web site actually has two pages to scroll through, as you look for a non-flowering plant. My photos of New Mexico gymnosperms (pines, firs, spruces, and ephedra) are linked through the page on trees and shrubs.  You can reach everything else by scrolling down from here. Click on a link to obtain additional photos of a species, plus comments. Those additional pages may be bandwidth-intensive and are best used with a high speed connection.

 

Please don't take my IDs as authoritative. These pages of nature photos represent one person's voyage of discovery, not the studies of a trained expert. If you see something I've misidentified, please contact me via my "Contact" page, which is tabbed at the top.
