An Updated Flora of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

Abstract

The herbarium collections of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge have been transferred to the Cameron University Herbarium (CAMU) so that they could be safely curated, and electronically databased and still remain accessible to refuge personnel while for the first time becoming readily available to other interested researchers. This paper is a report on the initial inventory of the specimens. The 1784 specimen collection includes 101 families, 339 genera, and 634 species that have been physically repaired and taxonomically updated as needed, accessioned into the CAMU collections, and entered into the Specify Database.
