VASCULAR FLORA ADDITIONS AND NOTEWORTHY COLLECTIONS FROM QUETICO PROVINCIAL PARK, ONTARIO

摘要

Quetico Provincial Park (QPP), in northwest Ontario between latitude N48.045 and 48.695 and longitude W90.850 and 92.275, protects more than half of a 2.2 million acre international wilderness of forest, water, and rock on the Canada/United States border. During a 16-day botanical study along the southeast edge of QPP, mostly over greenstone bedrock, 33 species new to QPP (including 2 new to northwest Ontario), as well as 55 others considered rare or scarce in the park, were found. Also encountered were 11 Ontario rare species (2 new to the park and all but 1 at new locations).
