On the gravelly bars of the Allegheny river at the out- 

 let of Wolf run,, near the base of the mountain, occurs a 

 fine growth of the Swamp Milkweed, Asclcpias incamata; 

 Indian Hemp, Apocynum cannabinum; Monkey Flower, 

 Mimulus ringens; and the rare Carex Emoryi while the 

 Black Willow, Salix nigra, is everywhere common along 

 the river here. 



8 Quaker Run (Streamside Vegetation) 



At times when the water is low it is possible to traverse 

 much of the upper course of Quaker run from Stony 

 creek downstream, either along the immediate bank or by 

 way of the gravel bars of the stream. The character of 

 the second growth arborescent vegetation in the bottom of 

 the valley is visibly influenced by the stream only along 

 its immediate banks where Willows, Red Maple, Elm, 

 Mountain Maple and Alder constitute a dominant part in 

 the streamside tree growth. Other trees of the valley 

 however, are common along the banks, such as Hemlock, 

 Black Cherry, Sugar Maple, Butternut, Blue Beech, Bass- 

 wood, Ash, Aspens, and Fire or Bird Cherry. 



The principal shrubs most closely associated with the 

 banks of the stream are as follows : 



Salix lucida Sambucus canadensis 



" Bebbiana Diervilla Lonicera 



" cordata Cornus Amomum 



sericea Spiraea alba 



discolor Rubus odoratus 

 Alnus incana " strigosus 



Hamamelis virginiana Cornus alterni folia 



Rubus allegheniensis Sambucus racemosus 

 Acer spicatum
