Since January 1982, the Sego Lily, named for the plant Calochortus nuttallii, has been the official newsletter and primary publication of the organization.
The Sego Lily newsletter has been a reference source for various Federal Register and other publications.
One of the society's first grants was in connection with the endangered dwarf bearclaw poppy, Arctomecon humilis.
It resumed that role in 2000, and since 2001 has co-hosted rare plant conferences with Red Butte Garden.
In 2003 the society completed the initial phase of digitizing and updating the Utah Endangered, Threatened, and Sensitive Plant Field Guide (by Duane Atwood et al., 1991) which was funded in part by a Bureau of Land Management challenge grant.
