Note: Because there is no single reference for standard English and scientific names of plants, English and scientific names for wildflowers follow Wildflowers of Tennessee (2001), by Jack B. Carman. English and scientific names of ferns and woody plants follow those listed from Cumberland County by the University of Tennessee Herbarium on its web site at http://tenn.bio.utk.edu/index.html   (BACK)
