Vascular Flora Of The Sim's Pond Area

The Sim's Pond Area in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina provides a typical and easily accessible area for the study of vascular flora of Watauga County. Although elevation, soil types, climate, and history of the area were investigated, the main emphasis was the collection and identification of the vascular flora of the area. From the survey, a catalog of the vascular taxa by families and an alphabetical list was prepared.
