EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

The “Natchez Trace” has played an important role in transportation, trade, and communication in 

the region since pre-historic times. As the development and use of steamboats along the Mississippi River 

increased, travel on the Trace diminished and the route began to be reclaimed by nature. A renewed 

interest in the Trace began during, and following, the Great Depression. In the early 1930’s, then 

Mississippi congressman T. J. Busby promoted interest in the Trace from a historical perspective and also 

as an opportunity for employment in the area. Legislation was introduced by Busby to conduct a survey of 

the Trace and in 1936 actual construction of the modern roadway began. Development of the present 

Natchez Trace Parkway (NATR) which follows portions of the original route has continued since that time. 

The last segment of the NATR was completed in 2005. The federal lands that comprise the modern route 

total about 52,000 acres in 25 counties through the states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The 

route, about 445 miles long, is a manicured parkway with numerous associated rest stops, parks, and 

monuments. Current land use along the NATR includes upland forest, mesic prairie, wetland prairie, 

forested wetlands, interspersed with numerous small agricultural croplands. 

The National Park Service (NPS) contracted the S. M. Tracy Herbarium to conduct an inventory of 

vascular plants over the entire length of the NATR. The inventory objectives were to document vascular 

plant diversity within the NATR, ascertain the location of threatened and endangered vascular plant taxa, 

and determine which of the extant plant species were invasive. These objectives were achieved through a 

combination of a literature search, herbarium search, and an intensive field inventory. 

Five (5) trips to the NATR were conducted beginning in August 2004 and ending in October 2005, 

to make field collections. Collections were made over the entire length of the NATR on each of the five 

trips. Vouchers were collected and processed in the field for subsequent identification at the S. M. Tracy 

Herbarium. Verification of several specimens required trips to Ft. Worth, Texas to utilize the collections 

housed at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT). Processing of vouchers involved identification, 

label preparation, and mounting. These tasks were performed in accordance with NPS protocol. Vouchers 

for the study comprise a total of 167 families, 750 genera, and 2197 taxa (including infraspecific taxa). 

Significant increases in the number of grasses (Poaceae) and sedges (Cyperaceae) were added by the 

study team. Vouchers were collected by the team for 1154 native taxa, 212 introduced taxa and 8 taxa 

considered both native and introduced. Previous NPSpecies (NPS Database) records account for an 

additional 642 native taxa, 173 introduced taxa, and 6 considered both native and introduced taxa.

Field observations were made of two possible locations in Tennessee where Apios priceana B.L. 

Robbins (a federally listed endangered species) may exist. However, impacts on the two sites due to 

haying and roadside maintenance made the subsequent verification of this species impossible. The study 

team recommends the NPS reassess its maintenance activities with respect to mowing at sites where A. 

priceana may exist. Persistence of this, and any other endangered species, is doubtful if such sites are 

continually mowed to an 8 inch stubble height.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

An inventory of this magnitude would be impossible without the assistance of numerous 

individuals. The authors wish to express their thanks to the staff of the National Park Service’s Gulf Coast 

Inventory and Monitoring Network (Paul Conzelman – retired, Whitney Granger) and the Natchez Trace 

Parkway (Kurt Foote, Bill Whitworth, C. E. Miller Smith ) who provided invaluable logistics and resources 

both in the field, and in the office. A special thanks goes out to Whitney Granger, whose guidance and 

patience was, and still is, essential to the completion of this inventory. 

Throughout the course of this project numerous graduate and undergraduate students from Texas 

A & M University provided much needed assistance in the field and laboratory. Nena M. Phillips was 

involved in the project from the beginning and her knowledge, skills, and attention to detail were a critical 

asset. Mark Tietz, Callie Monk, Kayla Kruse, Mindy Gallardo, Ashley Mock, Tracy Evans, and Darren 

Pawlik spent countless hours in the field and herbarium collecting specimens, processing vouchers, 

entering data, and other less than glamorous tasks which facilitated completion of this inventory. Guy 

Nesom, Botanical Research Institute of Texas, provided expert assistance with the identification of several 

Symphyotrichum specimens whose identity had eluded the authors. The curators of the following herbaria 

provided specimen data or answered our inquiries: APCR, APSC, AUA, BBG, BRIT, DSC, ETSU, GH, 

HALA, HEND, HGCRL, HTTU, IBE, LAF, LRU, LSU, LSUS, LTU, MISS, MISSA, MMNS, MEM, MO, MTSU, 

NLU, NO, NY, STAR, SWMT, SWSL, TENN, THIB, TROY, UAM, UARK, UCHT, UNA, UNAF, UOS, US. 

And last, but definitely not least, our sincere appreciation to our wives, Nora Lee Hatch and Maggie 

Kruse, who steadfastly supported our ambitions, despite many long hours at the herbarium and the time 

spent away from home while in the field.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 

1.1 History of the Natchez Trace Parkway 

The influence of the “Natchez Trace” (Trace) in our nation’s westward expansion and the 

associated economic and political development is often understated. Since its earliest beginnings, the 

Trace has played a vital role in transportation, trade, and communications at a local, regional, and even 

national level. In use since pre-historic times, the Trace has been witness to a diverse array of travelers 

from many important eras in our nation’s history. As an economic route serving its earliest users, the 

American Indian, to its use by a multitude of European and American travelers, the Trace has provided a 

viable and convenient means of north to south travel. In contemporary times the roadway and associated 

lands have preserved countless examples of our nation’s scenic and historical treasures. Throughout 

history, the Natchez Trace Parkway (NATR) has entwined its way in the lives and history of the people and 

places of the southeastern United States. 

As a vast network of intertwined trails, the early Trace was used by American Indians as a major 

trade route between the various regional Indian nations. Around 1540, Hernando DeSoto is believed to be 

the first European to travel part of the route in his exploration of the southeastern United States. In the late 

1600’s the French used the Trace to travel southward from their settlements in the St. Lawrence Valley, 

and the Revolutionary War saw use of the trace by troops in eastern Tennessee (Crutchfield 1985). 

Numerous merchants from Nashville, and other up-stream locales, transported their wares down the 

Mississippi River to ports such as Natchez, Mississippi or New Orleans, Louisiana. Upon arriving at their 

destination these merchants would market their goods, selling everything including their boats or rafts 

which were sold for the lumber, and then return to their homes on foot or horseback along the Trace (NATR 

staff 2002). In addition, countless un-named merchants, slave traders, land speculators, and other 

“businessmen” utilized the Trace as a means of north-south travel. Not to be left out, unscrupulous robbers 

and thieves took advantage of many weary and un-wary travelers along the way. A few prominent and well 

known personalities such as Meriwether Lewis, John J. Audubon, Jim Bowie, Sam Houston, and others 

used the route at one time or another. In 1800, Congress established the Trace as a postal route and 

charged the United States Army to clear a new road from Nashville to Natchez. After the Revolutionary 

War use of the Trace was encouraged as a means of increased transportation and communication between 

settlements in the east and Natchez to the west. Following the defense of New Orleans in the War of 1812, 

American troops used the Trace to return to their homes in the north.

As the number of travelers increased, more people began utilizing horses and wagons as the 

preferred method of transportation. The route of the Trace would also change, with changes in the 

weather. Old paths would become too muddy and eventually covered in ruts, too deep for wagons to pass. 

In response travelers would create new routes to bypass these sections, and continue on. Throughout 

history the actual location of the Trace, or individual sections, has often been dynamic. Many such 

changes were driven, at least in part, by changes in the modes of transportation utilized over time. By 

1820, as technological developments advanced, steam boats were in common use along the Mississippi 

River and made up river travel much more practical. As a result, traffic along the Trace began to diminish 

(NATR staff 2002). Following the diminishing travel on the Trace, the route fell into disrepair and nature 

began to reclaim the route.

After decades of decline, and the onset of the Great Depression, interest in the Trace was 

renewed. In the early 1930’s then Mississippi Congressman Thomas Jefferson Busby, a native of 

Tishomingo County, entered legislation calling for an initial survey of the route. Prompted at least in part as 

a means of providing badly needed jobs for large numbers of the region’s unemployed, on May 21, 1934 

the 73rd United States Congress commissioned the National Park Service (NPS) to make a survey of “the

old Indian trail known as the Old Natchez Trace - with a view to constructing a national road on this route to 

be known as the Natchez Trace Parkway” (NATR staff 2002). The initial survey was completed in 1935 

and later that year Congress allocated an initial sum of $1,286,686 for the construction of the first three 

phases in Mississippi. Actual construction of the “modern” roadway was initiated in 1936 with the 

expressed goal “to commemorate the historical significance of the Old Natchez Trace” (NATR staff 2002). 

Some sections of the present day Natchez Trace Parkway (NATR) follow the original route of the Old 

Natchez Trace, while others parallel or intersect preserved lengths of the original route. The last segment 

of the modern NATR roadway was completed in May of 2005, nearly 71 years after Congress’ initial 

authorization. The final completed route covers approximately 445 miles stretching from its southern 

terminus at Natchez, Mississippi (N 31° 41’ 13.1”, W 91° 11’ 21.6”) to its northern terminus just south of 

Nashville, Tennessee (N 36° 01’ 45.1”, W 86° 58’ 29.2”). Following a sinuous course, the NATR crosses 

through 25 counties in three southeastern US states; Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Table 1, 

summarizes the distribution of NATR mileage by county and state.

1.2 Land Use along the Natchez Trace Parkway 

10 



The federal lands that comprise the NATR average 412.5 feet on either side of the roadway for a 

total area of approximately 52,000 acres (Bachleda 2005). Although largely a linear “park” the inclusion of 

several parks and monuments such as Meriwether Lewis National Monument in Tennessee; Jeff Busby, 

and Rocky Springs Parks in Mississppi; create much larger tracts of property in close association with the 

roadway. The general land use adjacent to the NATR consists of mostly rural land composed of moderate

to heavily forested sites (Figure 2) interspersed with mesic upland prairies (Figure 3), lowland wet prairies 

(Figure 4), and forested wetlands (Figure 5). At several points along the route the roadway runs adjacent 

to, or crosses, open water sites such as the Ross Barnett Reservior, and the Tenn-Tom Waterway, both in 

Mississippi, and the Tennessee River in extreme northwestern Alabama. Portions of the NATR also 

traverse sections of the Tombigbee National Forest and Tishomingo State Park in northern Mississippi. 

Although primarily passing through rural agricultural land, the NATR approaches very near numerous small 

communities throughout its route and passes directly through the major cities of Jackson and Tupelo, 

Mississippi. 

In keeping with the concept of a “scenic roadway” throughout the length of the NATR, the 

roadsides are regularly mowed for varying distances from the paved roadway (Figure 6). Beyond these 

regularly maintained roadsides, the majority of the NATR is kept in a somewhat “natural” condition (Figure 

7). The lateral distance of this “maintenance” varies depending on the local topography, existing tree 

cover, water bodies, and the actual property boundaries of the NATR. Interspersed with the natural 

vegetation are numerous, small to moderately sized, acreages which are leased to local agriculturally 

based private interests. The frequency and acreage of individual tracts varies, but there is a general 

increase in both frequency and size moving from the north to the south. This trend is assumed to be the 

result of topography, elevation, and local soil characteristics. These sites are typically utilized as either 

prairie for hay (Figure 8), or converted for production of various grain and fiber crops (Figure 9). This 

agricultural use is very evident in some areas of the NATR, especially in extensive sections of Mississippi 

which are leased to local farmers for row crops such as corn, soybeans, and cotton.

1.3 Climate 

Due to the liner configuration, and north to south orientation, of the Natchez Trace Parkway 

(NATR) there is often a significant difference in the climate from north to south. The following climatological 

data were summarized from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Climate Data 

Center (NOAA 2006). While the average temperature for Nashville, TN (near the northern terminus) is 49.1 

°F in March, the average temperature for Natchez, MS (the southern terminus) is 58.1 °F (all averages are 

from 1999-2003). This difference in average temperature plays an important role in the start of the growing 

season in any given year. As an example, on the March 2005 collection trip, the north collection team was 

collecting plants in the snow at the beginning © Stephan of L. the Hatch trip, 2004 

while the lower NATR collection team was 

encountering temperatures in the mid-50’s to 60’s. As a result, the flora on the generally southern portions 

of the NATR was further advanced than the flora in the more northern sections. To illustrate this difference 

in growing seasons; on the May 2005 collection trip, the entire NATR was examined by the upper NATR 

collection team. In the course of this trip casual observations were made concerning the developmental 

stage of one particular taxon, the slender rush (Juncus tenuis Willd). Observation of plants in the field 

indicated the taxon was under-developed and relatively immature in Tennessee. As the team progressed 

south, towards Alabama and northern Mississippi, J. tenuis had matured significantly to the point where 

specimens in this middle section were in excellent condition. Finally, as the team reached the southern 

terminus, J. tenuis had become very mature. All of these observations were made within a 10 day time 

span, which shows the great variation over the length of the 445 mile Parkway. Tables 2 and 3 summarize 

average monthly temperatures and precipitation (1999-2003) and yearly figures for 2004 and 2005 for five 

major cities along, or near, the route of the NATR.

The NPS has inventoried selected groups of organisms in park units within its jurisdiction. Many of 

these inventories focused on the vertebrate fauna and vascular flora in various units of the NPS system. 

The NATR has not completed a comprehensive floristic inventory since its establishment as a unit of the 

National Park Service in 1938. Therefore, as part of this initiative, in August 2004, the S. M. Tracy 

Herbarium at Texas A & M University, College Station, Texas, was contracted by the National Park 

Service’s Gulf Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network to conduct an inventory of vascular plants along the 

entire length of the Natchez Trace Parkway. 

Inventory Objectives 

● Documentation of vascular plant diversity within the parkway’s boundaries – Changes in land 

use on a local as well as regional level often have negative impacts of the native flora of any given 

region. The NATR, due to its unique configuration, geographic location, and close proximity to 

adjacent properties, is particularly susceptible to changes in adjacent land use and commercial 

development. 

● Ascertain the location of endangered or threatened vascular plant taxa - Management of 

current and future mainternance activities, in addition to parkway construction projects, would

undoubtedly have negative impacts on taxa that have a limited distribution or highly specific habitat 

requirements. 

● Determine what existing vascular plant taxa within the parkway are considered invasive. The 

NPS has gone to great efforts to control the invasion of many plant taxa such as; tree of heaven 

[Ailanthus altissima (P. Mill.) Swingle] and kudzu [Pueraria montana (Lour.) Merr. var. lobata (Willd.) 

Maesen & S. Almeida] (personal communication Whitworth 2004). 

This inventory encompassed a parkwide inventory of all vascular plant taxa, with an additional 

emphasis on plant taxa listed as threatened or endangered on either federal or individual state lists, and 

identification of taxa considered invasive. The inventory consisted of three primary methods of 

investigation: 1) a literature review, 2) a herbaria search, and 3) an intensive field inventory. 

2.1 Literature Review 

A review of available literature was conducted to determine any vascular plant taxa that have been 

previously documented on the NATR. Searches of scientific journals, relevant national, regional, and local 

floras, and several un-published NPS reports provided by the NATR staff were reviewed for verifiable 

records of collections within NATR boundaries. 

2.2 Herbaria Search 

A written request for existing records of plant specimens was sent to 4 national, and 38 regional, 

herbaria. Specimen records were requested from regional herbaria in Alabama (8), Arkansas (6), Louisiana 

(7), Mississippi (7), Tennessee (9), and Texas (1). The Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) was 

included because the collection formerly housed at Vanderbilt University (VDB), Nashville, TN is currently 

being curated at BRIT. The same request was made to four national herbaria; the New York Botanical 

Garden (NY), the Smithsonian Institution (US), Harvard University Herbaria (HUH), and the Missouri 

Botanical Garden (MO) since these larger collections typically house a much wider geographic and 

taxonomic representation than many smaller herbaria. The request specifically targeted records of any 

vascular plants and endangered taxa in the states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The search 

criteria were; 1) any records of specimens collected in the counties through which the NATR traversed, and 

2) a listing of any threatened or endangered taxa accounts for those states. The list of herbaria searched 

and the appropriate herbarium acronyms were taken from Index Herbariorum (IH 2004). 

15 

Comment [WG1]: Were there any 

vouchers found as part if this search? If 

so, where is the data?

Records of extant vascular plant vouchers curated at the NATR headquarters were obtained in 

electronic format and incorporated into the cummulative list of taxa. 

2.3 Field and Laboratory Methods 

2.3.1 Field Collection Schedule and Methods 

Two groups of collectors were utilized to efficiently use the time available for making collections. 

On each trip, one group began at the northern terminus of the NATR (just south of Franklin, Tennessee – 

mile marker 442), while the other group began at the southern terminus of the NATR (just north of Natchez, 

Mississippi – mile marker 0). The two groups then made collections along the NATR until each group had 

completed approximately one-half of the length of the route (approximately 40 miles south of Tupelo, 

Mississippi – mile marker 225). Due to the large distance to be covered, specific collection locations were 

determined through visual interpretation of changes in plant community types along the NATR. Additional 

collections were made between plant communities whenever casual observations indicated there may be a 

new taxa present. Specimens were collected by walking along the roadside and then laterally to the 

Parkway’s boundary, when the boundary could be determined. The intent was to collect each taxon only 

once per group. However, repeated collections occurred along the different sections of the Parkway due to 

overlapping taxa compositions in the two sections. 

Because sampling of some collection sites was duplicated on multiple trips, each date and site 

combination was given a unique location number. A list of these locations arranged by state, county, and 

date is provided in Appendix A. Collections were processed in the field and then subsequently transported 

to the S. M. Tracy Herbarium for identification and final processing. Location data, including GPS location 

and mile marker (or closest mile marker) for each habitat were recorded at the time of collection. Plant 

specific data was recorded pertaining to abundance (using the following categories: abundant, common, 

uncommon, or rare), nativity (native or introduced), cultivation and “weediness” of the plants. 

2.3.2 Specimen Identification 

Identification of collections was completed by TAES staff utilizing resources at TAES and 

identifications were verified using specimens in the S. M. Tracy Herbarium (TAES). Some identifications 

needed to be verified utilizing the collections at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT), and 

Vanderbilt University (VDB - is currently housed at BRIT). In accordance with an existing Loan Agreement, 

16

vouchers collected as part of this inventory are housed in the S. M. Tracy Herbarium (TAES) in College 

Station, Texas. 

Numerous publications were utilized for identification of vouchers, the following represent the 

primary references used: Vascular Flora of the Southeastern United States (Cronquist 1980), Woody Vines 

of the Southeastern United States (Duncan 1975), Trees of the Southeastern United States (Duncan and 

Duncan 1988), Flora of North America North of Mexico: Volume 2: Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms 

(FNAEC 1993), Flora of North America North of Mexico: Volume 22: Magnoliophyta: Alismatidae, Arecidae, 

Commelinidae (in part) and Zingberidae (FNAEC 2000), Flora of North America North of Mexico: Volume 

23: Magnoliophyta: Commelinidae (in part): Cyperaceae (FNAEC 2002), Aquatic and Wetland Plants of the 

Southeastern United States: Monocotyledons (Godfrey and Wooten 1979), Flora of North America North of 

Mexico: Volume 25: Magnoliophyta: Commelinidae (in part): Poaceae, part 2 (FNAEC 2003), Aquatic and 

Wetland Plants of the Southeastern United States: Dicotyledons (Godfrey and Wooten 1981), Gould’s 

Grasses of Texas (Hatch 2005), Vascular Flora of the Southeastern United States: Volume 3, Part 2: 

Leguminosae (Fabaceae) (Isley 1990), A Field Manual of the Ferns and Fern-Allies of the United States 

and Canada (Lellinger 1985), Manual of the Southeastern Flora (Small 1933), Manual of the Vascular Flora 

of the Carolinas (Radford et al. 1968), Shinner’s and Mahler’s Illustrated Flora of North Central Texas 

(Diggs et al. 1999), Flora of Missouri (Steyermark 1963), and Guide to the Trees, Shrubs, and Woody 

Vines of Tennessee (Wofford and Chester 2002). Authorities were assigned using the Integrated 

Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) website (ITIS 2004) and the United States Department of Agriculture 

Natural Resource Conservation Service’s PLANTS database (USDA 2004). 

2.3.3 Voucher Processing 

Vouchers were permanently mounted on standard 11 ½” X 16 ½ “ archival quality, acid free, 

herbarium paper along with a printed label containing the following information: family name, scientific 

name, authority(ies), physical location, site number, latitude and longitude data, horizontal error, associated 

taxa, collector name(s), collection number, any special notes, and the date of collection. In keeping with 

NPS databasing protocol, a habitat type was assigned to each location using the National Vegetation 

Classification System developed by the Nature Conservancy (2005). 

The existence of endangered or threatened taxa encountered along the Parkway was “recorded” 

using a digital photograph, to be used as the voucher for the specimen. Pertinent location information was 

also recorded as described above.

3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 

3.1 Literature Search 

3.1.1 Review of National Park Service Sources 

Although there has not been a comprehensive inventory of vascular plants within the NATR, a 

number of smaller floral surveys have been conducted. However, the emphasis of these reports was 

limited to either localized sites or specific plant groups based on growth form and rare taxa. Beginning in 

the mid 1940’s, and continuing intermittently through the mid 1960’s these studies accumulated 

approximately 1900 specimens, representing 1021 taxa. With data collected at specific localities, these 

collections represent an initial attempt to inventory the NATR by park naturalists, associated staff, and 

associated independent contractors. 

In 1963 park naturalist Donald Black developed an Illustrated Guide to the Climbing Plants of the 

Parkway (Black 1963). The stated purpose of this guide was to “provide a layman-type picture guide for 

quick identification of climbing plants found along the parkway” (Black 1963). Probably used mainly by park 

staff, the illustrations appear incomplete and were apparently drawn from dried herbarium specimens. 

Black (1963) stated in the introduction to the guide that “a more comprehensive manual to all parkway taxa 

was in progress” but as far as can be determined this was never completed. 

In 1991, a preliminary vegetation survey was conducted at the Chickasaw Village site located in 

Tupelo, Mississippi (Wieland 1994). The purpose of this survey was to determine the suitability of this site 

for prairie restoration. Plots surveyed as part of the survey identified 107 taxa. 

In 1995, the Tennessee Chapter of the Nature Conservancy (TNC) was contracted to conduct a 

biological survey of the flora, fauna, and ecological associations along the NATR from Highway 32 in 

northeast Mississippi to Leipers Fork, Tennessee. This survey covered approximately 130 miles of the 

Parkway’s 445 mile length (TNC 1995). Results of this report are summarized in section 3.3.7 and in 

greater detail in Appendix C. 

The most recent study, completed in 1996, focused on the presence of three threatened or 

endangered species in the proposed location of the Southern Parkway Terminus. The goals of the study 

were to delimit the distribution of these taxa in the area surveyed and determine the approximate the size of 

18

any extant populations (Rosso and Reed 1996). Results of this report are summarized in section 3.3.7 and 

in greater detail in Appendix C. 

3.1.2 Review of Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi State Floras 

Tennessee - According to Frodin (2001), Gattinger published The Flora of Tennessee and a 

Philosophy of Botany in 1901, which included a listing of the vascular plants as well as some remarks on 

local range and habitat; however, there was no usable key. The most current listing of vascular plants of 

Tennessee was published by Wofford and Kral (1993). Also published by Wofford and Chester (2002) was 

the Guide to Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Tennessee, which proved to be an invaluable resource 

during the course of this project. 

Alabama - The only flora published for Alabama is Mohr (1901) Plant Life of Alabama. However, 

being published in 1901, it is currently outdated. A checklist of vascular plants was published in 2002 by 

the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University (Morton et al. 2002). The collections of the 

John D. Freeman Herbarium at Auburn University and the University of Alabama Herbarium were 

combined to produce a checklist of 201 families, 1047 genera, and 3544 taxa (Morton et al. 2002). A 

treatment of ferns of Alabama was published by Dean in 1969, which included keys as well as county 

distribution data (Frodin 2001). 

Mississippi - There is currently no vascular flora available for the state of Mississippi. Treatments 

of several small families have been produced and published in journals such as Castanea and Phytologia 

by S.B. Jones (Frodin 2001). A Preliminary Checklist of Mississippi Plants (McCook and Kartesz 2004) is 

currently being developed by staff at the University of Mississippi’s Thomas H. Pullen Herbarium. 

3.1.3 Review of Regional (Southeastern United States) Floras 

The first major floristic work in the southeastern United States was by John Darby. Frodin (2001), 

reports that Darby produced A Manual of Botany in 1841 and Botany of the Southern States in 1855. The 

Manual of the Southeastern Flora by Small, first published in 1903, was a compilation of data from over 

50,000 specimens as well as literature provided by other botanists in the region (Frodin 2001). Small’s 

Manual of the Southeastern Flora is still one of the few major floras for the area, although it is mostly 

outdated now due to numerous nomenclatural changes. There has been little work at the state level with 

the exception of Mohr (1901), Plant Life of Alabama. This work was published as part of the Geological 

Survey of Alabama by Eugene Smith after Mohr’s death. 

19

After the economic progression of the south in the 1950’s, interest in a descriptive flora gained 

more interest (Frodin 2001). This interest led to the beginning of the Vascular Plants for the Southeastern 

United States project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Frodin 2001). The goal of this 

project was to bring the flora of the southeast up-to-date following the style of the very successful Manual of 

the vascular flora of the Carolinas (Radford et al. 1968). However, only two volumes have been completed 

to date: Volume 1 ASTERACEAE (Cronquist 1980) and Volume 2, Part 3 Leguminosae (Fabaceae) (Isley 

1990). 

Godfrey and Wooten published Aquatic and Wetland Plants of the Southeastern United States, 

which consisted of two volumes: Monocotyledons (Godfrey and Wooten 1979) and Dicotyledons (Godfrey 

and Wooten 1981). This work covers North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, 

Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. 

The most current flora in production is the Flora of North America North of Mexico which is being 

compiled by the Flora of North America Editorial Committee (FNAEC). Upon completion, there will be 30 

volumes. Volume 1 (background information for understanding patterns in the flora) and Volume 2 

(treatments of ferns and gymnosperms) were published in 1993 (FNAEC 1997). Volumes 3-26 are 

angiosperms and are arranged using Cronquist’s classification system (FNAEC 1997). Volumes 3-5, 19- 

23, and 25-26 are currently published. At the present time, Volumes 6-11 and 24 are in production. 

Volumes 27-29 will cover Bryophytes, and Volume 30 will be the cumulative bibliography and index 

(FNAEC 1997). This large flora will cover all of North America north of Mexico, so will therefore be very 

useful in terms of filling the gap of state floras in the southeastern United States. 

3.2 Herbaria Search 

Requests were sent to 42 herbaria in the eastern and southeastern U.S. Responses were 

received from 20 (47.6%) of these herbaria. Of the responses received, 15 out of the 20 (75.0%) were 

unable to provide any specimen data in accordance with the criteria set forth. However, specimen data 

was received from 6 herbaria in the form of downloaded database records, photocopies of specimen labels, 

e-mail references, etc., which are summarized in Table 4 below. Data was received in different forms, and 

the level of detail varied between records. All of the records received were analyzed for possible verifiable 

NATR collections. Of the 231 actual specimen records received, none were able to provide a verifiable 

location within the boundaries of the NATR.

MMNS / MISS - Records received from MMNS and MISS were in a spreadsheet format, and only 

provided data to the county level; there was no indication as to whether these specimens were collected 

along the NATR. 

BRIT - The data from BRIT were photocopies of herbarium sheet labels of threatened and 

endangered taxa. Information from the labels was used to determine an approximate collection location, 

and these locations were subsequently compared to maps of the appropriate region. One record was 

determined to be in the vicinity of the NATR. However, an exact collection location on the NATR could not 

be substantiated (see section 3.3.7 and Appendix C). Of the remaining BRIT records none were found to 

be along the NATR. 

NO, TROY, and UNA - Several of the records from TROY, UNA, and NO were duplicates of 

collections from other herbaria while others reported new locations. However, none were determined to be 

on the NATR. 

3.3 Field Collections 

3.3.1 Field Schedule and Collecting Effort 

Actual field collection of specimens was conducted over a period of 1.5 years, beginning in August 

of 2004 and ending in October of 2005. Collecting trips were made in the months of March, May, July, 

August, and October. In planning the timing of these trips it was hoped to maximize the number of taxa 

available for collecting by accounting for the seasonality of flowering periods. The length of individual 

collecting trips varied from 4 days in the field in March, to 15 days in the field in May. Over the course of 

five collection trips, totaling 37 days in the field, approximately 500 collection sites were sampled. 

The selection of individual sampling locations was essentially random, and these were determined 

based on observations made while in the field. The number of sites in each state, expressed as a 

percentage of the total sampling sites, roughly coincides with the percentage distribution of the NATR 

mileage within each state. Table 5 provides a detailed analysis of collection trips and sampling effort.

Although the actual number of specimens collected on each trip was not analyzed, and regardless 

of individual trip length, the March and July field dates produced lower numbers of collections while the 

May, August, and October trips produced a larger number of collections. Several factors may have 

impacted individual collection success on any given trip, i.e., local temperatures and rainfall. However, with 

the exception of the August field dates, one consistent factor is believed to have contributed significantly to 

differences in collecting success. 

While it is understood that the nature of the NATR is largely a “scenic roadway”, maintenance of 

the roadsides and adjacent prairies often prevented the flora of these sites from developing to the point 

where representative plant specimens were collectable. The regular maintenance (mowing) of the 

roadsides and many open prairie sites for aesthetic or agricultural reasons most likely resulted in lower 

collection success during each trip, and of the inventory overall. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate this point. The 

photograph in figure 8 was taken on the August 2004 trip and shows a diverse mix of vegetation that is well 

developed. The photograph in Figure 9, taken on the July 2005 trip, shows the local vegetation removed to 

the point where no collectable material was present. During the course of the inventory this scene was 

repeated throughout the length of the NATR on both the roadsides, and the prairie sites. In many such 

instances, the only collections made at any given site were done on one trip only. Subsequent trips, 

scheduled to account for different flowering periods, yielded no collection from the same site.

3.3.2 Taxonomic Distribution of the Natchez Trace Parkway Flora 

Vouchers for the NATR vascular plant collections total 167 families, 750 genera, and 2197 taxa 

(including infra-specific taxa). In Table 6, the number of families in each division is summarized. In the 

checklist that follows, vouchers have been collected for 151 families: 12 fern or fern allies families 

(Pteridophyta), 3 gymnosperm families (Pinophyta), 20 monocot families (Liliopsida), and 116 dicot families 

(Magnoliopsida). An additional 15 families: 3 Pteridophyta, 1 Pinophyta, 3 Liliopsida, and 9 Magnoliopsida 

are represented in the NPS database, NPSpecies. Vouchers have been collected for 1372 taxa in 574 

genera. Records in NPSpecies account for an additional 825 taxa in 176 genera.

The ferns and fern allies (Pteridophyta) account for 2.8% of the total flora, the gymnosperms 

(Pinophyta) account for 0.46% of the total flora, and the monocots (Liliopsida) and dicots (Magnoliopsida) 

account for 26.1% and 70.5% of the flora respectively. The five largest plant families represented are: 

Asteraceae (298 taxa), Poaceae (236 taxa), Cyperaceae (148 taxa), Fabaceae (133 taxa), and Rosaceae 

(73 taxa). These five families comprise 40.4% of the total flora. 

24

A comparison was also made of the study collections (collected on the five collection trips) and the 

list of vouchers that are currently being curated at the NATR Headquarters in Tupelo, MS. The two lists 

were compared for taxa occuring on both lists. Once these overlapping taxa were determined, a count of 

the taxa collected only by the study team was calculated as well as a count of the taxa that are only found 

in the NATR headquarters. The same comparison was also made for the top ten plant families to ascertain 

if, and by how much, the vascular plant collections were increased by the study team. The total number of 

taxa is found in Table 7 with the percentage of the total in parentheses.

compared to those collected by NATR staff. 

3.3.3 Nativity of Natchez Trace Parkway Flora 

Three nativity classes are present along the NATR. Plants considered native, introduced, and 

plants considered both native and introduced. Each of these three categories is summarized by division in 

Table 7. Vouchers have been collected for 1154 native taxa, 212 introduced taxa, and 8 taxa are 

considered both native and introduced. Records in NPSpecies account for an additional 642 native taxa, 

173 introduced taxa, and 6 taxa considered both native and introduced (provided in parentheses in Table 

8). Information on nativity was assigned based on the USDA PLANTS database (version 3.5) (USDA 

2004).

Growth habit was summarized for the voucher collections. Each taxon was categorized as either a 

trees or shrub, forb (non-graminoid herbaceous), graminoid (grass and grasslike), or vine (both woody and 

herbaceous). Each of the growth habits is summarized in Table 10, with the percentage of the total for 

each class in parentheses. Forbs represent 64.0% of the flora and the graminoids another 18.8%. The 

remaining categories, trees and shrubs, and vines, represent 13.2% and 4.0% respectively.

3.3.6 Endemism of the Natchez Trace Parkway Flora 

Endemic taxa are generally referred to as species with a limited spatial distribution at some 

designated geographic level; i.e., county, state, region, etc. To investigate the level of endemism present in 

the flora of the NATR, a search for endemic taxa was conducted using the USDA PLANTS database. A 

filtered search of the database was conducted with the results limited to include only, 1) US and North 

American plant records, 2) only vascular plants, and 3) taxa at the species level and below. The resulting 

list was then further reduced to include only those taxa found in only one of the three states the NATR 

traverses. Additional taxa were subsequently added to the list utilizing the Tennessee Natural Heritage 

Program’s - 2004 Rare Plant List, and the Alabama Natural Heritage Program’s – 2006 Alabama Inventory 

List: The Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Plants and Animals of Alabama. The results of this combined 

search are listed in Appendix B. This final list was then compared to the NATR Checklist compiled in this 

report. Three (3) taxa from the list were determined to be endemic to one of the states through which the 

NATR traverses. 

● Tennessee purple coneflower, Echinacea tennesseensis (Beadle) Small, is endemic to 

Tennessee . A search of the University of Tennessee Herbarium (TENN) database and the USDA Plants 

database confirms a known distribution of the species in Davidson, Rutherford, and Wilson Counties in 

central Tennessee. Although not on the NATR, herbarium records from BRIT and VDB, also list several 

additional collection locations in Davidson County. 

● Lyreleaf bladderpod, Lesquerella lyrata Rollins, is endemic to Alabama. The USDA Plants 

database lists a known distribution of the species in Colbert and Franklin Counties in extreme northwestern 

Alabama. Herbarium records provided by BRIT and VDB also list several additional collection locations in 

Colbert County. 

● Alabama larkspur, Delphinium alabamicum Kral, is also endemic to Alabama. The USDA Plants 

database lists a known distribution of the species in Alabama (Colbert, Franklin, and Lawerence Counties) 

and Georgia. However, the Flora of North America FNAEC 1997, suggests the population in Georgia may 

have been transplanted and the populations in central Alabama have not been seen since 1950 and are 

likely extirpated. 

27

3.3.7 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Plant Taxa of the Natchez Trace Parkway 

This section provides a brief discussion of the results from the survey. A detailed discussion is 

provided in Appendix C and is intended to be the “non-public” portion of the present report. The literature 

search, herbarium records, and field surveys identified 31 taxa within the NATR as being rare, threatened, 

or endangered. Table 11 summarizes documented vouchers, records, or observations of such species 

within the boundaries of the NATR. None of these taxa were documented by the the present study. 

However, previous studies were able to document extant populations of some taxa in addition to historical 

records within the NATR. 

Rosso and Reed (1996), focused on the following terrestrial plant taxa; Trillium foetidissimum T. D. 

Freeman, Mikania cordifolia (L. f.) Willd., Ophioglossum petiolatum Hook., Schisandra glabra (Brickel) 

Rehder., and Pachysandra procumbens Michx. The results of their study documented extant populations of 

only one taxon, M. cordifolia, within the proposed Southern Terminus of the NATR. Additional populations 

of M. cordifolia were located in adjacent completed sections of the NATR and led the authors to suggest 

any existing populations impacted by construction would likely recover. Although none the remaining taxa 

were located, it was noted that suitable habitat was present in the proposed construction area and it was 

further suggested that surveys be conducted at the appropriate time of year when the relevant taxa could 

be readily found and identified. 

The Tennessee Chapter of the Nature Conservancy conducted a basic-level biological field survey 

in 1995 on a section of the NATR which included an emphasis on rare, threatened, and endangered plant 

and animal taxa. The survey identified 22 records which represented 16 listed plant taxa. Field surveys by 

the TNC verified 7 of these records representing 5 taxa and an additional 11 new occurrences were found 

representing 6 taxa. 

Although herbarium records from BRIT and VDB were unable to provide verifiable locations within 

the NATR, one additional record of Xyris tennesseensis Kral, was found to be very near the NATR. This 

record represents an additional location for the taxon outside the NATR but in close proximity to previously 

documented site within the NATR’s boundaries. 

Field observations made by the present survey recorded two possible locations in Tennessee 

where Apios priceana B.L. Robbins populations may exist.

3.3.8 Weedy and Invasive Taxa of the Natchez Trace Parkway 

Precise definitions of “weedy” or “invasive” taxa vary considerably. The precise definition used is 

often dependent on the ultimate goal of the user defined term. “The ecological perspective considers any 

plant a weed if it is a pioneer species that thrives in a degraded habitat with a history of disturbance through 

human agency” (Hilty 2006). According to www.invasive.org, invasive taxa are “any species, including its 

seeds, eggs, spores, or other biological material capable of propagating that species, that is not native to 

that ecosystem; and whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm 

to human health” (Invasive Taxa 2006). Weedy taxa differ from invasive taxa in that they “are not 

considered a significant threat to the natural environment because they tend to disappear after artificial 

disturbances have been removed,” (Hilty 2006), while invasive taxa are much more difficult to remove once 

they have been established. 

29

The taxa included on the checklist in section 4.0 below were compared with the Interactive 

Encyclopedia of North American Weeds (SWSS 2005) for “weedy” taxa and the national invasive taxa list 

at www.invasive.org (Invasive Species 2006), for invasive taxa. The checklist was also compared to the 

Federal Noxious Weed List (June 30, 2006), in addition to a search of the USDA PLANTS Database for 

noxious weeds in each of the states along the NATR route. Of the identified taxa on the NATR checklist, 

12.75% of the taxa present are considered weedy, while 8% of the identified taxa are considered invasive. 

None of the taxa on the list were found on the federal noxious weed list, or any of the state lists, as per the 

USDA database. 

3.3.9 Verification of Vouchers at NATR Headquarters 

The identification of vascular plants represented by vouchers at the NATR headquarters were not 

independently verified by the research team and are therefore assumed to be accurate. As such, all 

inferences based on these specimens are contingent upon the identifications provided. However, based on 

the identifications provided by the NATR staff, and in consultation with current distributional data, ten (10) 

of the taxa listed would not be expected to occur in the area of the NATR or the states where the 

specimens were collected. Therefore, a loan of the specimens representing these 10 taxa was requested 

of NATR staff. A total of 11 specimens were borrowed, and examined, to determine if the vouchers were in 

fact correctly identified. The list in Table 12 provides the results of these verifications and the status of the 

vouchers. 

Identifications of the questioned NATR vouchers in Table 12 were completed by TAES staff. Of 

the ten taxa examined, seven were determined to be correct. However, although correctly identified, the 

voucher for Aesculus hippocastanum L. was not collected within current NATR boundaries. Based on label 

data the specimen was collected on the grounds of the Lee County Courthouse in Tupelo Mississippi and 

does not represent a voucher for the NATR flora. The remaining six taxa may represent new additions to 

the flora of their respective states. The final status as new records is currently being investigated by TAES 

staff. 

The two specimens of Cystopteris fragilis (L.) Bernh., were very immature and a correct 

identification of these specimens could not be verified. The specimens of Polystichum lonchitis (L.) Roth 

and Oenothera oakesiana (Gray) J.W. Robbins ex S. Wats. & Coult., were determined to be incorrect. The 

specimen of P. lonchitis was corrected as Polystichum acrostichoides (Michx.) Schott., and the O. 

oakesiana was determined to be Oenothera laciniata Hill.

4.0 THE VASCULAR FLORA OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY 

The following table enumerates the extant vascular plant taxa found within the boundaries of the NATR. 

The names on the list represent taxa considered present or probably present (in accordance with current NPS 

definitions) and are based on documented voucher specimens. Voucher specimens for these taxa are curated at 

the Natchez Trace Parkway Headquarters in Tupelo, Mississippi, or at the S. M. Tracy Herbarium (TAES), Texas A 

& M University, College Station, Texas. Identifications linked to vouchers at NATR Headquarters were provided by 

NATR staff. Therefore, with the exception of the vouchers in sub-section 3.3.10 above, all NATR voucher 

identifications have not been independently verified by the authors and are assumed to be accurate. Identifications 

of vouchers at TAES were verified by the authors in the course of this inventory. 

Organization of Checklist 

Vouchers on the checklist were identified at the lowest taxonomic level possible. Therefore, some extant 

vouchers identified at higher taxonomic levels may not be included on the list. The taxa and common name(s), if 

any, are listed alphabetically by division and family. Within families, taxa are listed alphabetically by genus, specific 

epithet, and subspecific epithets, with authorities given for all taxa. Taxa listed without superscripts are taxa 

collected by TAES in the course of this inventory. Taxa designated with a 1 are vouchers collected by the NATR 

staff and are housed at NATR Headquarters in Tupelo, MS. Taxa designated with a 2 are recorded as being 

present in NPSpecies, the NPS online database (NPSpecies 2006). An alphabetical listing, by genus, of the 

following checklist is provided in Appendix D.

Appendix C – Locations of Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Plant Taxa on the Natchez Trace Parkway 

This detailed results and discussion section concerning rare, threatened, and endangered plant taxa, is 

placed in this appendix to provide a “stand alone” document which is not intended to be publically accessible. A 

general discussion of these taxa is provided in section 3.3.7 in the main body of the report and does not reveal 

any identifiable locations where historical or extant plants or populations may exist. The results provided in this 

appendix are a compilation of two previously stated reports; Rosso and Reed 1996 and TNC 1995. In addition, a 

report of two potentialy new populations of A. priceana B. L. Robbins, are discussed. 

New Taxon Locations and Populations: 

Apios priceana B. L. Robbins, Price’s potato-bean - In August 2004, populations of plants were 

encountered at two separate sites in Tennessee which appeared similar to a photo of A. priceana. Without 

having any available characters to determine if this plant was indeed A. priceana, the endangered taxon, or A. 

americana, it was decided to document the occurence and location with digital photo voucher and recheck 

measurements on the July 2005 collection trip. However, on two subsequent trips in July and October 2005, 

each of the two locations was rechecked for the presence of the plants. On both occasions, no plants were 

observed at either location. Therefore measurements could not be taken to determine which Apios sp. was 

actually present. As discussed in Section 3.3.1, the regular mowing of the roadsides and adjacent prairies 

undoubtedly had an impact of the development of the NATR flora from season to season. The failure to relocate 

A. priceana at these sites is believed to be the result of this maintenance. 

As stated previously, the original observations were made on 20 August 2004, when most of the roadsides 

and prairies were in an unmown condition. At that time two locations were found, each consisting of what would 

appear to be multiple individuals of A. priceana. The first site was on the northeast corner of the intersection of 

the NATR and Tennessee Highway 64 between mile markers 370 and 371 (TAES Site #18 - N 35.3219167, W 

87.5799444). At this site, plants were observed growing on the east side of a small isolated grove of trees near 

the roadway. Individual plants were observed growing on the shaded edge of the trees and a few individuals had 

extended into the adjacent prairie supported by the dense grass cover and other herbaceous vegetation. All 

plants appeared to be healthy and many were flowering at that time. On the same day a second site was located 

on the west side of the NATR in a wet meadow just before the Alabama state line between mile markers 342 and 

343 (TAES Site # 21 - N 35.0180556, W 87.8231944). At this site individuals were again found growing along the 

shaded edge of the tree line at the north end of the meadow. Although fewer in number all plants again appeared 

to be healthy and flowering. Additional observations at this site revealed multiple individuals which exhibited 

- 190 -

some degree of color variation in the flowers. This color difference could indicate multiple taxa or just a natural 

range of variation within a single taxon. On subsequent trips, both sites had been mowed up to, and in some 

cases beyond, the tree line and there was no evidence of the previously documented populations. 

Previously Documented Taxa and Populations 

In the table that follows, known locations of extant plants or populations are listed alphabeticaly by taxon, 

and include the latest documented observation date and the source of such data. Locations verified in reports by 

TNC 1995 and Rosso and Reed 1996 are in bold text.
