Notes
Park Species Detail: Lam, 1985:Voucher specimens collected during this survey (May, 1984-May, 1985) and stored at George Mason University herbarium./Lam, 1985: The bank along Pope's Creek provided a great number of wildflowers. Some of these have been planted in the past and are vigorous enough to propagate successfully. In this area I found several species that were either out of their range in Virginia or simply an uncommon species to the state. It may be that these species like Lunaria annua, Leonurus cardiaca, Mentha longifolia, and Nepeta cataria have simply escaped from the herb garden., Park Species Data Source: Lam, 1985
