22 Oklahoma Native Plant Record Volume 2, Number 1, December 2002 Floristic List for Comanche County, Oklahoma Bruce Hoagland Oklahoma Biological Survey/Department of Geography University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 Floristic lists are vital tools for conservation planning, research, and wildflower appreciation. The diverse physical geography of Comanche County contributes to the high degree of plant diversity and habitats. The county is probably best known for the Wichita Mountains, which are composed of Cambrian gabbro and granites. To the north of the Wichita Mountains is the Slick Hill, an extensive outcropping of limestone. The surface geology of most of the county is composed of Permian sandstones. Land use in the county includes row crop agriculture and pastureland.
