Flora of the Allegany State Park Region 201 



south side of the mountain. On this bank arc found 

 four species of Lycopodium : L. annotinum; L. davatum; 

 L. complanatum var. flabelliforme, and L. tristachyum. 

 Here also is a fine growth of Rubus odontitis. 



The forest before reaching the cut contains more 

 Hemlock, Sugar Maple, Sweet Birch, Yellow Birch and 

 Beech than the slopes on the north side of Quaker run, 

 but otherwise the composition of the growth is about the 

 same. The ground is carpeted with Viola incognita, 

 Dalibarda repots, Mitchella repots, Oxalis Acctosclla, 

 Galium tri flora m. Car ex Deweyana, Fragaria virginiana, 

 Carex communis, Thelypteris noveboracensis, Dennstaed- 

 tia punctilobula, Aster prenanthoides, Asa-rum reflexuni, 

 Glyceria nervata, Ranunculus rccurvatus, Glyceric elon- 

 gata, Lycopodium lucidulum, Tiarella cordifolia, Uvularm 

 sessilifolia, Copt is trifolia, Viola rotundifolia, Brachyley- 

 triini erectum, Waldsteinia, Trillium, Podophyllum, 

 Festuca nutans, and many other species common in the 

 fertile woodlands of this region. 



Farther along the trail beyond the "club-moss cut" the 

 poorer soil conditions overlying the conglomerate forma- 

 tion support a type of vegetation common on similar 

 soils throughout the park, as on the summit of the Stony 

 creek trail, and the Bradford road near the state line. 

 Azalea audi flora is more abundant here than elsewhere, 

 and in open places may be found a number of rather 

 rare plants not usually so closely associated elsewhere in 

 this region. They are as follows: 



Thelypteris hexagonoptera Danthonia spicata 



Carex virescens Scirpus atrovirens var. 

 Galium lanceolatum georgianus 



Spiranthes gracilis C'lintonia umbellulata 



Microstylis unifolia Cimicifuga racemosa 



Botrychium angustisegmentum Carex digitalis
