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 Robert
Thorne ca. 1950s, who recorded 77 species; by David Lyon (1974), who recorded
58 species; and by Frances Frymoyer (1974). The list also includes data from
more recent inventories (1990s) by Diana Horton, Jim Scott and others. The list
of mosses is based on inventories by Diana Horton. Species documented by voucher
specimens in the University of Iowa Herbarium are indicated by the Herbarium
abbreviation, IA, after the date of collection/collection number.
