List of plants by common name (Sonoran Desert)
This is a List of plants by common name (Sonoran Desert), for the Sonoran Desert and local environs; (S California, etc-New Mexico, S, SW or Rio Grande Valley-Northern Mexico states: Sonora, Chihuahua-and Baja California, North and South, and other states of Mexico, and locales of utah The common names of plants often vary from region to region. Thus "Latin" names, (the binomials), for "Genus" and "species" need to be the ultimate reference to plants, but then even these names are sometimes further subdivided into "race", "variety", or other subgroups.

Many plant species have multiple common names. Some "See: x,y", references will be found in this list.

Some plants can be viewed at the SouthWest School of Botanical Medicine Page: , or , at Pima Community College, "Desert Ecology of Tucson, Az": , "Common plants of the Verde Valley", at Nature Songs: , "Cal Photos:" , , plants.USDA.gov , , or www.NPS.gov, (Invasive Plant Species) , or
