A Partial List of the Land Plants of Yellow Point

Compiled by Kent Brothers -- Revised May 18, 2004

The incidence of the organisms at Yellow Point is indicated, rather incompletely so far, according to my own observations at the times I've visited (mostly in May & October), by the letter between the scientific and common name:

A = abundant - hard not to see it
C = common - can usually find it any day if you look for it
I = infrequent - in few locations, seasonal, or hidden, but likely to be found if you know when/where to look
R = rare - seen once, or in a place difficult to access, ...
* = from "What to See at Yellow Point" though I've not noticed it

If you know of a plant at Yellow Point that is not listed here, please contact me at Kent@Brothers.ca
