The collections in the county were in 1913 by G.W. Stevens, deposited 69 species. In first the following year, 63 collections were deposited the University of Oklahoma Herbarium (OKL) by R.L. at No Clifton. collections from Ellis County were deposited in state herbaria between 1915 and 1927. After that time, there was steady collection in the county. The 1970s were an active decade for botanical study of Ellis County, culminating in the deposit of 101 specimens at (OKL) collected by Barber, K. Pearce, and Thompson From 1985 405 specimens from County R. in 1976. to 1986, E.B. Erteeb deposited Ellis at the Oklahoma (OKLA) herbarium Northwest Oklahoma. State University as part of a floristic study of In 1998, OKL N. McCarty and Hoagland deposited 226 specimens conjunction with study wetland and B. at in a of woody plants. Since that time there has been collection effort in Ellis County. The objective of this little study was to provide a floristic inventory to aid Nature Conservancy personnel in management of the Eour Canyons Preserve (FCP) and remedy a gap in our knowledge of the flora of western Oklahoma. STUDY AREA ECP The was by The Nature Conservancy 2004 and within established in protects 1,376 hectares. (Eig. 1) It is the Subtropical Humid (Cf) climate zone (Trewartha 1968).

Sites were selected site. following a review of U. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic maps and field reconnaissance. The S. predominant vegetation association at these sites was classified according to Hoagland (2000). Vouchers made for exotic species were from naturalized populations only, thus excluding cultivated and ornamental plants. Specimens were processed the Robert Bebb Herbarium of the University of Oklahoma (OKL) at following standard procedures. Manuals used for specimen identification included Correll and Johnston and was (1970), Great Plains Flora Association (1986), Waterfall (1973). Origin, either native or introduced, USDA-NRCS determined using Taylor and Taylor (1991) and (2006).

A The collection Four Canyons occurred within six vegetation associations. brief description five sites at each of follows: home 1. Disturbed areas and old-fields were locations exhibiting signs of physical disruption, such as roadsides and sites. This includes a portion of the Canadian River floodplain that was converted to C. dactylon in years prior to acquisition by The Nature Conservancy. Common plants in disturbed areas included Aegilops cylindrica, Bothriochloa laguroides, Bromus catharticus, Cucurbitafoetidissima, Eragrostis cilianensis Geranium carolinianum Hordeumpusillum, Mollugo verticillata, Oxalis stricta, Phytolacca americana, Polygonum aviculare, Portulaca , ^ halimoides, Quinculalohata, Rhus glabra, and Jribulus terrestris. 2. Quercus muehlenbergii-Juniperus virginiana woodland association occupied deep sandstone canyons the FCP. This vegetation type at does not appear in Hoagland (2000). Although muehlenhergii has been reported from counties immediately south of does not Q. Ellis, it occur as a dominant species. The co-occurrence of virginiana is likely the result of fire suppression, but additional research is neces- J. sary to character species composition and stand history. Associated species included Acalypha ostryijolia, Cdastrus scandens, Cornas drummondii, Elymus canadensis, Galium aparine,]uglans microcarpa, Parietaria penslvanica, Pellaea atropurpurea, Rihes aureum, Sideroxylon lanuginosum, Smilax tamnoides, Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, Toxicodendron radicans, Jridens Jlav us and Ulmus rubra. Muhlenbergia bushii, a , m ONHI, species tracked by occurred this habitat. 3. Quercus havardii-Sporoholus cryptandrus-Schizachyrium scoparium shrubland association was limited to a deposit of sandy soils on the FCP western edge of the preserve. Extensive occurrences of this vegetation association are west of the on deep sandy soils. Associated species and included Artemisia jilijolia, Bouteloua gracilis, Indigojera miniata, Mentzelia multiflora, Oenothera grandis, Prunus gracilis, Yucca glauca. 4. Schizachyrium scoparium-Bouteloua curtipendula-Bouteloua gracilis herbaceous association occurred on the well-drained soils and rocky slopes. was the most abundant vegetation type at FCP. Plant cover was sparse on sandstone outcrops Associated forb species included It Amorpha Argemone Comandra canescens, polyanthemos. Astragalus gracilis, Calylophus hartwegii, Ceanothus herbaceous, umbellata, Croton texensis, Dalea aurea, Desmodium sessilijolium Hedeoma drummondii, Hedyotis nigricans, Ipomoea leptophylla, Ipomopsis longiflora, Lesquerella , ovalijolia, Krameria lanceolata, Monarda clinopodioides, Pediomelum cuspidatum, Ptelea trifoliata, Sorghastrum nutans, Sphaeralcea coccinea, ONHI Stillingia sylvatica, Streptanthus hyacinthoides, and Symphyotrichum ericoides. Species tracked by the that occurred in this association were Argythamnia and mercurialina, Escobaria vivipara Zinnia grandijlora. — — 3. Schizachyrium scoparium Castilleja purpurea var. citrina Lesquerella gordonii herbaceous association occurred on shallow soils over gypsum. The extent of vegetation cover varies with the degree of gypsum exposure. Associates Include Bouteloua hirsuta, Erioneuron and pilosum, Chaetopappa ericoides, Liatris punctata, Phacelia integrijolia, Psilostrophe tagetina, Tetraneuris scaposa. Echinocereus reichenbacMi, which is tracked by the Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory, occurred in this habitat type. FCP 6. Wetland and Riparian vegetation included the margins of small ponds at and wet areas along the floodplain of the Canadian River. Although multiple wetland vegetation associations are present at the FCP, they are limited in aerial extent and readily intergrade. Classifying Canadian River floodplain vegetation further confounded by land use/land conversion practices of the landowner prior to The Nature is Conservancy. Possible wetland vegetation types present include Polygonum pensylvanicum-Polygonum lapathijolium herbaceous association, — Schoenoplectus americanus Eleocharis montevidensis herbaceous association, and the Tamarix chinensis shrubland association.
