Yavapai County Native and Naturalized Plants (YCNNP, http://cals.arizona.edu/yavapaiplants) is a web-based plant database designed to assist everyday people in identifying native plants of Arizona�s Central Highlands Transition Zone. The website uses non-technical language instead of botanical terms, and features photographs showing plants at various times of year to capture seasonal differences in appearance. The YCNNP search function provides users a variety of searchable fields. Known data field information is entered and results return a series of thumbnail pictures to help narrow the search. Once a thumbnail is selected a variety of photos of that species are displayed allowing users to match the plant they saw in the field with the photo.� Detailed descriptions of each plant are also included. In September 2017, the YCNNP database included 786 plants (13 cacti, 507 forbs, 127 grasses, 65 shrubs, 65 trees, 6 succulents, and 3 vines). Yavapai County Master Gardener volunteer and native plant enthusiast, Sue Smith, is a retired web programmer and leads the project. Thirteen other Master Gardener volunteers and professionals have contributed photographs and populated the plant descriptions. At its launch in 2010, the YCNNP website had 75 plants and over 100 photos. The website is used by multiple educational institutions, agencies, and non-profit organizations and received 103,905 pageviews in 2016 (from Google Analytics). Yavapai County Master Gardeners continue adding plant photos and descriptions to the YCNNP database. Several requests for use of YCNNP photos are received each year. These are granted if the intended use is for educational purposes.
