Annotated checklist of the vascular flora of the Hickory Creek Unit of the Big Thicket National Preserve, Tyler County, Texas

摘要

An annotated, vouchered checklist is provided of the vascular plant taxa of the 284 hectares Hickory Creek Unit of the Big Thicket National Preserve, Tyler County, in southeast Texas. The Hickory Creek Unit consists of four plant communities: wetlandpine savanna, upland pine savanna, pond, and baygall. Four hundred one taxa are documented and their community affiliations are given. Previous lists for this unit numbered over 500 taxa. We believe that the discrepancy is the result of the larger listsbeing, in part, "conceptual" (what could be there, not what was actually there).
