The USDA keeps a nearly comprehensive list of all the plants living in the US. See plants.usda.gov. Click "state search" on the left side of the screen, check the box next to Maine, and click "search" at the bottom. This will produce a very long list of plants that grow in Maine, including native and exotic species. You can also do a more specific search by going to "advanced search" on the first page and specifying a county in Maine or a type of plant.
The state of Maine's website says: There are no laws prohibiting the collection of any plant species in the State of Maine. However, in the interest of perpetuating Maine's natural heritage we strongly advise against the collection of any rare plants. Two of Maine's four species of lady's-slippers are considered rare plants. Additionally, the website says you may collect plant species from public lands in Maine, but you must have a permit.
Maine has no true deserts. It does have a small area of barren silt uncovered during the last ice age but it only resembles a desert superficially.
Yes, it it but as with all exotic plants and animals it is illegal to release them to the wild.
I'm glad you asked.
Native plants in Maine include ground covers such as bearberry and creeping juniper. You would see some trees such as white pine, red oak, and eastern hemlock. There would be shrubs such as black chokeberry, gray dogwood, and winterberry.
The Eastern White Pine is the Official tree. Wintergreen is the State Herb. The blueberry is the Official State Berry.
