Brief Note: New Records of the Flora of Lorain County, Ohio

Abstract

A floral survey of the Lorain County Metro Parks and non-park areas was conducted from mid-March to mid-September 1993 to aid in the development of management plans. A total of 734 species was documented for the county. Of these, 687 of the 1,229 (55.9%) historically recorded species were vouchered, along with 47 new species not previously recorded. The new species are presented in this report. This brings the number of floral species of the county to at least 1,276 species.
