Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Niagara Regional Municipality, Ontario(M.J. Oldham March 2010)IntroductionThe purpose of this checklist is to summarize information on the distribution and status of vascular plants in the Niagara Peninsularegion of Ontario. The checklist primarily covers the Regional Municipality (R.M.) of Niagara, but includes information for eachNiagara species on the status in the adjacent municipalities of Haldimand and Hamilton. Three species not known from NiagaraR.M., but known from adjacent Haldimand County (Flaccid Sedge, Carex glaucodea; Long-beaked Oak Sedge, Carex lucorum; TallCinquefoil, Drymocallis arguta), are included in the checklist since they are within the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority(NPCA) watershed. The author (michael.oldham@ontario.ca) would welcome any comments, additions, or corrections to thischecklist.History of Botanical Exploration in NiagaraThe Niagara Peninsula has a long history of botanical exploration, dating back more than two centuries. Peter Kalm visited NiagaraFalls in 1750 (Kalm 1771) and his incidental reference to Basswood (Tilia americana) is apparently the first English languagereference to a plant species from the area. Kalm’s Lobelia (Lobelia kalmii) and Kalm’s St. John’s-wort (Hypericum kalmianum) wereboth named by Linnaeus to commemorate Peter Kalm and were likely discovered and collected by Kalm near Table Rock at NiagaraFalls (Day 1888). Francois Andre Michaux visited the region in 1806 or 1807 and published on some of the trees includingCucumber Tree (Magnolia acuminata), which he observed near Niagara Falls (Michaux 1819). David Douglas visited Niagara Fallsin 1823 and collected a number of rare species such as Pink Milkwort (Polygala incarnata), Starry Campion (Silene stellata), ToothedTick-trefoil (Desmodium cuspidatum, and Woodland Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum) (Hooker 1840). In the mid and late 1800sbotanists such as Joseph Dalton Hooker, George W. Clinton (1864), David F. Day (1882, 1883, 1886, 1888, 1893), John Macoun(1883-1892, 1893), Robert Cameron (1895, 1896), J. Hoyes Panton (1890), and others visited or worked in the region. Ontario'soldest herbarium specimen that has been located in a Canadian collection is the specimen of Spikenard (Aralia racemosa) collectedby Francis Masson and deposited in the herbarium of the Canadian Museum of Nature (CAN), which was probably collected in Julyor August 1800 in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area (Brunton 1985). For an account of the early botanical history of the Niagara Regionsee Zenkert (1934).In the early 1900’s, the Botanical Section of the Buffalo Museum of Science was active on both the New York and Ontario sides ofthe Niagara River. Charles A. Zenkert’s classic “The Flora of the Niagara Frontier Region: Ferns and Flowering Plants of Buffalo,N.Y., and Vicinity” was published in 1934 and covered all of the current Niagara Regional Municipality as well as the eastern portionsof Hamilton and Haldimand. Zenkert’s flora has been updated by several later publications (Zenkert and Zander 1975, Zander andPierce 1979, Eckel 2001). In the 1940’s and 1950’s A.W. (Bert) Miller conducted extensive botanical studies in Niagara; hisNatural Heritage Areas Inventory, 2010 9-2
