This guide to wetland flora was compiled in response to increased focus on the value of wetlands at the federal level, especially in the Swampbuster provision of the 1995 Food Security Act. The guide contains 300 species of vascular plants. The guide excludes all species that are true aquatics that live in water, because they are obvious wetland species. Also excluded were those species that most people readily recognize, such as cattail, lizard's tail, and others. Sprouting and flowering of plants in the spring, color changes of plants in the fall, bird migration, insect hatches, and animal hibernation are all examples of phenological events.
