Species lists have been updated and posted to our species list page. Ranking updates are a result of the 2020 program on the General Status of Species in Canada.
Several updates and additions have been made to the Saskatchewan Vascular Plant List. Four new taxa were added to the provincial list as a result of a comprehensive cross-reference with the Flora of North America. Three other taxa were newly discovered in Saskatchewan in 2020, and two others were confirmed.
