A Floristic Inventory of the North Side of Arcadia Lake, Edmond, Oklahoma
A floristic inventory was conducted on the north side of Arcadia Lake in Edmond, Oklahoma. Fieldwork was conducted from April 2022 to July 2023. The survey documented 356 plant species representing 79 plant families and 233 genera. A total of 214 species were collected, and their corresponding vouchers were deposited at the University of Central Oklahoma Herbarium (CSU). Forty-one plant species were not collected, but were observed, photographed, and uploaded to iNaturalist by the authors. One hundred and one additional plant species found in the study site were observed by the iNaturalist community and verified by the authors. One species tracked by the Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory was observed and vouchered. Eighty-three percent of observed species were native, while seventeen percent were non-native.
