ly hills is the chestnut or mountain oak (Quercus prinus,) and 
on the rocky ledges along Bear Creek the red oak, (Quercus 
rubra) is very common. Chestnut tan-bark oak (Quercus velu- 
tina), dogwood and hickory are fairly common on the uplands. 
Down on the limestone slopes occur chinquapin oak (Quer- 
cus acuminata), mulberry, butternut, yellow poplar, magnolia 
(Magnolia acuminata), and occasionally black walnut. Scrub 
pine (Pinus Virginiana) is found on the high cherty hills near 
the mouth of Bear Creek. 
Common shrubs on the upland slopes are several species 
of the Heath family—the dwarf inedible deerberry, and other 
species of vaccinium; the hazle nut (Corylus Americana), the 
brilliantly colored mountain laurel and bush honeysuckle, witch 
hazle, trailing arbutus, the sweet-smelling calyeanthus and the 
mountain holly; and on the rich lower shaded slopes the wahoo 
(Euonymus atropurpureus). 
Numerous herbaceous forms common under the dry upland 
woods, are the following: 
Hypoxis erecta 
Hieracium scabrum 
Fragaria Virginica 
Ranuneulus fasicularis 
Viola pedata 
Phlox pilosa
