What types of plants are in the Grand Canyon?

Answer 1

Utah Agave

Agave utahensis

There is no real common name for this plant, but has been called the Kaibab century plant, in reference to the (incorrect) belief that it flowered after a hundred years. Agave is from the Greek word meaning noble, from the imposing stature, and utahensis means of or from Utah. Its flower stalk, shown here, can grow at a rate of over a foot a day.Banana Yucca

Yucca baccata

A low growing plant usually less than one meter tall, the yucca may flower many times during its life but usually not every year. The baked fruits were a main staple for native peoples and are still eaten to a smaller extent today. Thick leaves contain many threads or fibers which have a variety of uses.Cliffrose

Cowania stansburiana

Cliffrose is a shaggy evergreen member of the rose family. Its showy cream-colored blossomes and long white plumed seeds are conspicuous most of the summer.Fernbush

Chamaebatiaria millefolium

The leaves of this plant identify it as fernbush. Other common names are tansybush and desertsweet. The finely divided leaves are evergreen and browsed by deer. The small but numerous white blossoms appear in August, attracting great numbers of pollenizing insects.Currant Bush

Ribes sp.

The currant bush is in the genus Ribes. Ribes serves as alternate hosts for the fungus of white pine blister rust and are removed where commercially important stands of white pine occur. Currant berries are food for birds and small mammals.
