Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The fern flora of Arkansas consists of 96 taxa, including five species and three hybrids of the Log Fern genus Dryopteri This report summarizes a twenty year floristic and ecologic study of their distribution and abundance in Arkansas. Historica data are presented to review the slow accumulation of taxa reported in floras of Arkansas from early collectors to 1980 and the rapid accumulation of taxa since 1980 employing modern field techniques. Chorological data and floristic data are presented based on field, herbarium, and literature studies to correct the record and document the known localities of the eight Arkansas taxa: Dryopteris …

Fruits continue to be recognized as an important food source for birds in temperate areas, particularly during the fall migration period. More than 20 species of plants producing fleshy fruits are found in the Arkansas Ozarks.
