Hanging Bog State Preserve, Linn Co.

Explanatory Notes

1) The list of vascular plants has been compiled by Diana Horton, University of Iowa Herbarium, Iowa City, IA, and incorporates data from lists prepared by David Glenn-Lewin (1980), who recorded 106 species, and by Bill Pusateri, who recorded 87 species in a list prepared October 11, 1981. With respect to Pusateri's records, species more likely recorded from the old field adjacent to the northwest side of the Preserve are indicated by an asterisk. The list also includes data from more recent inventories (1990s) by Diana Horton, Diana Horton and Thomas F. Cady, Iowa City, IA, and others. The list of mosses is based on inventories by Diana Horton and students. Species documented by voucher specimens in the University of Iowa Herbarium are indicated by the Herbarium abbreviation, IA, after the date of collection or collection number.
