Adoption of the Nevada State Flower

The sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata or Artemisia trifida) was initially adopted as the state emblem by Senate concurrent resolution, the Assembly concurring, on March 20, 1917.

By an act of the Nevada Legislature, the sagebrush was later adopted as the official state emblem by statutory law in 1959.

Finally, in 1967, the sagebrush was adopted "as the official state flower of the the State of Nevada."
