Journal of the Oklahoma Native Plant Society, Volume 2, Number 1, December 2002 4 Oklahoma Native Plant Record Volume 2, Number 1, December 2002 VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE WICHITA MOUNTAINS WILDLIFE REFUGE (1977) Paul Buck Department of Life Sciences The University of Tulsa Tulsa, Oklahoma Introduction This list is an effort to update a popular list of the vascular plants of the WichitaMountains Wildlife Refuge prepared by the author approximately ten years ago. The earlier work was compiled from lists published by Eskew (1938), Osborn and Allen(1949) and from studies of several regional herbaria. The changes over the previous list reflect new species found during field activities in the Refuge through the years,additions reported in the literature and modifications of scientific names as published in floras, keys, and manuals. Common names are always a problem,frequently changing several times within relatively small geographic areas. In an effort to avoid this difficulty the common names have been taken from A Guide to Plant Names, (Rechenthin, 1954) which was prepared for use by the regional Soil Conservation Service. The very few not listed in this publication were obtained from Fernald (1950)and the updated version of Britton and Brown (Gleason 1952). The asterisks (*) indicate species that are questionable as present inhabitants of the Refuge for a couple of reasons: (1) Many were reported in the area by earlier workers but recent literature indicates their ranges do not extend into the Wichita Mountains system. It might be inferred these were misidentified,and in several cases where the specimens were located, this proved to be the case. Buck, P. https://doi.org/10.22488/okstate.17.100011 (2) During the 1930’s thousands of seedlings of non-native woody species were introduced and planted (example: Mahonia aquifolium, Barberry; Spiraea arguta, Spirea; Hibiscus syriacus, Rose of Sharon; Lagerstroemia indica, Crape myrtle, etc.). Most of these were subsequently moved to other locations within the southwest. Probably none of those left in the Refuge survived the competition of the native flora. The identity of the maple within the Refuge has been a subject of debate for many years. Opinions have been divided between the bigtooth maple (Acer grandidentatum) and sugar maple (A. saccharum). The writer felt, when the earlier list was prepared, the Wichita maple was the latter and deleted the bigtooth maple from the list. Dent(1969) made a study of the sugar maples of Oklahoma and concluded the Caddo Canyon and Wichita Mountains groups are both Acer saccharum.
