A Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Tanglewood Biological Station, Hale County, Alabama

This study was begun as a survey of the vascular flora of the Tanglewood Biological Station of the University of Alabama. The project was not intended to be an ecological study of the area, but was planned primarily to be a checklist. The major portion of this work was done between June, 1965 and September, 1966. Since little work has been done on the flora of the upper coastal plain of Alabama, this work serves as a basis for long-term, comprehensive studies of the area. The present study should also serve as a basis for preliminary comparisons of this flora with that of the black belt, which is in close proximity.
