Notes
Park Species Detail: Steury, 2002: This is the rarest species, found during the THST survey just outside the park's western boundary. This grass is listed as "extirpated" in Maryland and this find represents the only known extant population of the species in the State (Lynn Davidson, Maryland DNR, database manager, pers. Comm. 2002). SH/X = "Endangered Extirpated; a species that was once a viable component of the flora of the State, but for which no naturally occurring populations are known to exist in the State.", Park Species Data Source: Steury, 2002
