Southeastern Wisconsin Plant KEY TO THE VASCULAR PLANT SPECIES, NATIVE AND NATURALIZED, OF THE SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN REGION Compiled by Dr. Lawrence Leitner and Ms. Kristi Sherfinski February 2012 INTRODUCTION This key covers the area comprised by the following seven counties—Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Ozaukee, Washington, Waukesha, and Walworth. The greater Milwaukee area, the largest metropolitan area in Wisconsin, occurs within this area. Despite this fact, the flora of the southeastern Wisconsin is quite diverse. The Tension Zone runs northwest to southeast through the area, crossing through Washington, Ozaukee, Milwaukee, and Racine counties. The Tension Zone is a climactic zone which divides Wisconsin into a northern hardwoods- conifer forest floristic province and a southern prairie-oak forest floristic province (SEWRPC Planning Report No. 42, 1997). Because of this Tension Zone, the flora of the Region represents a microcosm of the entire state. The Region contains every plant community listed in the “Vegetation of Wisconsin” (Curtis, 1959), except for the boreal forest and the sand barren community types. In addition, the Kettle Moraine State Forest is located along the western edge of the Region. This area contains many examples of glacial features formed as a result of the last glaciation event—the Wisconsin Stage—that occurred about 11,000 years ago (SEWRPC Planning Report No. 42, 1997). This is a draft document that was compiled by Dr. Lawrence Leitner and Ms. Kristi Sherfinski while working for the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC). It encompasses all vascular species that are native or that have become naturalized in the southeastern Wisconsin region, as defined above, according to their records at the time this key was written in 2012. This document is currently in draft form and is not an official publication of SEWRPC and should not be referenced as such. It has been tested by the authors but we wish to have it further tested by users before removing its draft status. Please feel free to send your comments or edits to Ms. Sherfinski at [email protected]. None of this work would have been possible without the work of our predecessors, and the support of SEWRPC. These works are referenced at the end of this document. SE WI Plant Key, p. 2 SE WI Plant Key, p. 3 KEY TO VASCULAR PLANT GROUPS 1.

For a link to the Journal's 2008 issues and abstracts, go to: <http://www.torreybotanical.org/journal.html> The following list of vascular plants includes native and non-native species that occur in a multi-county area in central New York State (see map below). We have called this the "Cayuga Region," as it includes the "Cayuga Quadrangle" of the flora of Clausen (1949) and the "Cayuga Lake Basin" of earlier floras (Dudley 1886, Wiegand & Eames 1926). A single set of modern species concepts was used, to correct for variations in nomenclature among the floras. Species found only under cultivation are not included. SPECIES NAMES are in alphabetical order, within major group. NATIVE/NOT is with respect to the Cayuga Region. For non-natives, WHEN HERE is the year by which the species had first established i the region, based on the floras of Dudley (1886), Wiegand & Eames (1926), Clausen (1949), and Wesley (2005; unpublished).
