Steamboat buckwheat

Steamboat buckwheat is federally listed as endangered. This plant is in the buckwheat family and is found on approximately 50 acres in the Steamboat Hot Springs area of Washoe County, Nevada. This buckwheat grows in soil that has developed from past thermal spring flows. Land development and changes in moisture availability continue to pose challenges to recovery.
