A CHECKLIST OF COMMON PLANTS

o f

THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL IN THE

NANTAHALA NATIONAL FOREST, NORTH CAROLINA

by Arnold Krochmal’ and Connie Krochmal

This Note lists the plants that a hiker is likely

to notice on the Appalachian Trail in the Nanta:

hala Forest, North Carolina. The list is one ofthe

results of an inventory of plant life along the Trail

as it passes through Southern National Forests.

Only plants that were conspicuous because of

their size, large population, or leaf or flower color

are listed. Fungi, grasses, mosses, and lichens are

excluded. Since each trail section was visited only

once, some plants whose flowers are conspicuous

at times other than that of the inventory may be

excluded.

Whenever possible, the nomenclature in

Gruy’s Mun~al oj’Botany is followed. Names of

plants that do not appear there are from Munuul oj

the Vascular Floru oj’ the Curolinus and from

Norm oj' West Virginia.

Numbers appearing after each plant indicate

the sections of the Trail on which the species is

found. The numbers are keyed to the accompanying map (fig. I ).
