A plant missing from it can still be native to Wyoming: the page lists only natives that nurseries routinely sell, and it leaves out any plant a state regulates as invasive. For a county-level answer on any plant, enter its name in Ezina's checker. Every answer links the record it came from.
Not necessarily. USDA records nativity county by county, and 132 of the 274 plants on this page are recorded as native in fewer than half of Wyoming's 23 counties. A county with no record may simply never have been surveyed for that plant, so read each card's map as where the plant is known to grow wild rather than as a boundary.
