Plant Libraries Grasses/Plants/Groundcover on Campus
Plants most commonly found on campus (common name) Clicking on a linked plant will launch a new window with a photo and description of the plant from a database of plants. Databases used are the Denver Botanical Garden, University of Conneticut Plant Database, North Dakota State University Trees Handbook, Texas Tech Plant Lists, Virginia Tech Denrology and the USDA Plants Database-this can be slow to open, please be patient. Facilities would like to generate a comprehensive library of plants found on UCCS, both cultivated and wild. If you know of other plants found on campus please submit to our database.
