HEINIG AND KALEB P. JANSSON CONNECTICUT ARBORETUM CONNECTICUT COLLEGE BULLETIN No. 6 NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT DECEMBER, 1950 CHECK LIST OF WOODY PLANTS GROWING IN THE CONNECTICUT ARBORETUM AND GUIDE TO THE ARBORETUM RICHARD H. GOODWIN, (CATHERINE H. HEINIG AND KALEB P. JANSSON CONNECTICUT ARBORETUM CONNECTICUT COLLEGE BULLETIN No. 6 NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT DECEMBER, 1950 INTRODUCTION One of the chief objectives of the Connecticut Arboretum has been to assemble a collection of all the species of woody plants native to the northeastern United States which can be grown in the New London area. This check list represents a report of progress toward this objective. It is hoped that it will serve the visitor and student of the local flora as a guide to the Arboretum and its collections. The map on page 16 shows the main Arboretum Tract and its various extensions and the Caroline Black Botanical Garden in relation to the Connecticut College campus. The more detailed map of the main Arboretum Tract on page 32 shows the layout of the paths and trails. The planted areas have been numbered to assist in the location of specimens. In this check list will be found all woody species known to occur naturally within the Arboretum, including adventives es- tablished at the time of the founding of the Arboretum in 1931 and native species which have been introduced into the area. The locations in the main Arboretum Tract where each species may be found are indicated by numbers referring to specific areas on the map (page 32). The distributions of some of the commoner species native to the woodland are not given. No attempt has been made to list the large number of ornamental trees and shrubs growing on the College campus and .n the Caroline Black Botanic Garden, but native and ornamental species in certain genera have been included, and their locations noted. The few exotic species which are found in the Arboretum are listed and their natural range is given. The plants in the check list have been grouped by families and genera according to the arrangement followed in the eighth edition of Gray's Manual.1 Species arc arranged alphabetically within the GINKGOACEAE genus. The taxonomic treatment is that of Gray's Manual, with the Ginkgo biloba L. GINKGO OR MAIDENHAIR TREE. 42a.

In tracking populations of plant species of conservation concern (Missouri Natural Heritage Program, 2007), there are sometimes also boom years in the number of reports of new populations. Because of reports of five new populations and a surge in numbers of plants at some previously-known sites, 2007 provided encouraging news for the conservation of the auriculate false foxglove [Agalinis auriculata (Michx.)

THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.
