Provisional
List of Vascular Plant Species in Point Pleasant Park, Nova Scotia
An initial
list was contributed by Rich LaPaix, based on his MSc thesis research on
vegetation structure and composition within urban parks of Halifax Regional
Municipality. [1] Additional
species were added from lists in cited references. The scientific names and
species ranks (Sranks) are those cited by the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data
Centre for Nova Scotia (http://www.accdc.com/Products/ranking.html)
The list
will be updated as more information becomes available. Please forward pertinent
information to David.Patriquin@Dal.ca
For the
species on this list, all species with an Srank of ÒSNAÓ are exotic to North America. - David Patriquin, May 3, 2012.
