A floristic account is provided for three eudicot families as part of the vascular plant flora of the contiguous protected areas of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, and the Tinajas Altas Region in the heart of the Sonoran Desert of southwestern Arizona: Berberidaceae with 2 species, Bignoniaceae with 1 species, and Boraginaceae sensu lato with 34 modern species plus one fossil species no longer present. Among the 3 families, at least 13 of these species are also known from fossils recovered from Ice Age packrat (Neotoma) middens. This is the tenth contribution for this flora, published in Phytoneuron and also posted open access on the website of the University of Arizona Herbarium (ARIZ). This contribution to our flora in southwestern Arizona (Figure 1) is the tenth published in a series in Phytoneuron and also posted open access on the website of the University of Arizona Herbarium (ARIZ). Three eudicot families are included in this contribution: Berberidaceae (1 genus with 2 species, and at least 1 species represented by fossils); Bignoniaceae (1 genus with 1 species), and Boraginaceae sensu lato (14 genera with 35 species, including 12 species represented by fossils). (Table 1). There are no non-native taxa in the flora area among the 3 families.
