Flora of the Allegany State Park Region 175 



The herbaceous vegetation is in most places particularly 

 tall and dense, and almost everywhere except in the 

 thickets and wet depressions consists mainly of golden- 

 rods. The following list is not meant to be a complete 

 list of the herbaceous species of the bottomlands but 

 merely indicative of the character of the growth making 

 up the major portion of the vegetation along the alluvial 

 banks and depressions for a distance of perhaps a mile 

 northward from Limestone. The predominating species 

 arc printed in heavy type.
