Excerpt from Non-Native Plants of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona The vascular (or seed) plant flora of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (orpi) contains remarkably few species of non-native plants. A low percentage of non-native, introduced, or exotic plants indicates the habitat is relatively natural, and as such can be used as an index of the condition of the vegetation. The present report includes 64 species possibly non-native to orpi which have been documented from the monument or adjacent regions and potentially present or invasive into the monument. In addition, a few species previously thought to be present and non-native to orpi were found to be either native or possibly native or not present.
