Plants of Lanark County, Ontario--2010 Edition   by David J. White
Rare Plant Photos In order to add some visual interest to the site, I have included photos of rare native Lanark County plants in this section. For the most part, these are 'wildflower' shots. I include a few rare sedge and grass pictures, however, most such plants tend not to be very photogenic, and the technical characters that distinguish many of the species are not easily photographed. Likewise for most aquatic species. All listed species are native in the county and rated as rare in the checklist (known from five or fewer extant locations). Additional photos will be added during the field season---as time and opportunity allow. The photos are alphabetically arranged by scientific name into one of eleven pages. Clicking on one of the links below will take you to the page with the photos as listed. Clicking on an image on one of the eleven pages will bring up a larger version of the photo.
