ABSTRACT. Ginn Woods, a typical flatwoods of the Bluffton Till Plain Section of the Central Till Plain Natural Region, is a 65 ha tract of woodland owned by Ball State University. The woods lies in the northwest corner of Delaware County, Indiana. This paper documents 69 additional vascular taxa. repre- senting 44 genera in 23 families, within Ginn Woods. Of the 69 species, 38 are recorded for the first time in Delaware County and nine are naturalized, non-native (exotic) species. The results of this studs com- bined with the one conducted in 1997 provided the following information. Ginn Woods contains a total of 452 taxa of vascular representing 267 genera in 99 families. A total of 164 species were reported for the first time from Delaware County. Of the 436 angiosperms listed, 67. or approximately 15 cf. were non-native or exotic species. The flora of Ginn Woods is characteristic of a typical old-grow th beech- maple forest in the American Midwest. The species documented at Ginn Woods were compared to the inventories of four other forests in east-central Indiana, e.g., Botany Glen, Grant County, Fogwell Forest Nature Preserve, Allen County, Mounds State Park, Madison County, and Wilbur Wright Fish and Wildlife Area, Henry County. This comparison indicated that Ginn Woods contained 17 species not found in these other forests. Among others, this list includes Agastache scrophulariaefolia, Aristolochia serpentaria, Carya laciniosa, Hamamelis virginiana, Hybanthus concolor, Ilex verticillata, Lobelia cardinalis, Huper- zia lucidula, Lycopus virginicus, aurantiacum, Triphora tricmthophora, and Uhints thoniasii.
