Glossary for Appendix C

This index is a text listing of all terrestrial and emersed aquatic flowering plants identified on the Noble Foundation Wildlife Unit (NFWU). The index also includes a few miscellaneous plants such as mushrooms and ferns. Photos and descriptions of selected plants important as deer foods are contained in Appendix C.

Plants are listed by common name, scientific name, family, and their relative occurence on the Wildlife Unit. The relative occurrence of plant species is based on subjective evaluation. The following categories are used to classify relative occurrence:

Abundant—Easy to find; often a dominant over large areas.
Common—Easy to find; seldom a dominant over large areas.
Scattered—Not extremely difficult to find, but more so than common; often thick with patchy distribution or sparse with good distribution; not dominant in the plant community.
Scarce—Difficult to find; often found in relatively small pockets; not well distributed.
Unknown—Plants have been identified on the NFWU, but the authors are unfamiliar with them; most of these plants would probably be categorized as "scarce."
