APPENDIX 1: SITE FLORA SUMMARY
The following table provides a record of the vascular flora of each MPF site. Taxa are arranged
alphabetically by scientific name, generally following the nomenclatural concepts of Steyermark
(1963). Scientific names for exotic species are rendered in ALL CAPS, to readily distinguish them
from native species, which are in regular typeface.
Immediately preceding the scientific name of each plant is a column with the conservatism value
(C value) for the species. As described previously, these coefficients range from 0 to 10 and reflect
the degree of obligate fidelity of the plant to areas with remnant natural quality in terms of
continuity with presettlement site integrity, biota, and process regimes. Lower C values indicate
plants that are disturbance tolerant, although many plants with low C values are native components
of the highest quality natural areas, albeit in low numbers. The mean C value of the total native
flora of all MPF sites is 4.3.
By the nature of their origin and establishment as anthropogenic artifacts in the post-European
settlement landscape of the New World, introduced species are fundamentally disturbance adapted
and do not display conservative attributes. These taxa are designated with an asterisk (*) instead
of a C value.
Following the scientific name for each plant is the accepted common name as used in the TNC
Missouri flora database. A single species of plant may have numerous common names, and the
names are provided here merely for convenience. Following the common name is the physiognomic
class of the plant (PHYS), divided into Annual FORB, Biennial FORB, Perennial FORB, Annual
GRASS, Perennial GRASS, Annual SEDGE, Perennial SEDGE, TREE, SHRUB, Herbaceous
VINE, Woody VINE, or FERN.
The column after the PHYS column provides the wetness coefficient for the plant, derived by
assigning an integer value to the plant's National Wetland Category for the region, as explained in
Taft et al. (1997). These values range from -5 to +5, with lower numbers indicating plants more
restricted to wet environments.
Following the wetness ranking column is a column for each of the nine MPF sites. Plants verified
from this site during this study, or from valid herbarium records or Missouri Department of
Conservation heritage database records are designated with a solid dot () in the appropriate box.
Plants which are attributed to an MPF site on the basis of reliable literature reports are designated
with an "R" in the appropriate box. A few plants attributed to MPF sites on the basis of
questionable, but presumably reliable, literature reports are designated with a question mark (?).
Rows in the table representing plants documented from all nine MPF prairies are shaded in gray.
In addition to the records included in this table, several other reports have been excluded because
of uncertainties or a lack of corroborating evidence. According to several sources, a specimen of
Petalostemum multiflorum at Southwest Missouri State University herbarium labelled as coming
from LaPetite Gemme Prairie was probably collected in Kansas. Petalostemum multiflorum is a
plant of the Great Plains not known to otherwise occur in Missouri except for two collections made
in the Kansas City area a century ago. Its presence on the easternmost and most Ozarkian of the
MPF lands would be highly unlikely, and the collection is almost certainly mislabeled.
Some other previous reports of plants from MPF sites are not included here because, in the absence
of confirming specimens, they are presumed to be based on misidentifications, or because we have
been unable to locate cited herbarium specimens. Weber et al. (1984) report from LaPetite Gemme
Prairie a number of species not included in this table. Despite the publication's statement that all
specimens were archived at the Southwest Missouri State University herbarium, many vouchers
could not be located there, raising the possibility that they have been redetermined and refiled.
