Vascular Plants

A total of 261 extant vascular plant species (212 excluding non-natives) are listed as of 1 July 2025, yielding an average C value of 3.29 (4.05 excluding non-natives) and an average W value of 2.44 (2.23 excluding non-natives) for the site.

Unless otherwise noted, I believe each species in this list was naturally found at Pearl Creek Farm or was brought in by the previous owners. I still have some work to do on identifications.

Nomenclature and other data are from the Ecological Checklist of the Missouri Flora (Ladd and Thomas 2015). Coefficients of conservatism (C Value) range from 0 (will grow anywhere, including highly disturbed habitats, or are non-native) to 10 (will only be found in very high-quality, undisturbed habitat). A brief article about coefficients of conservatism is also available online. Coefficients of wetness (W Value) range from -5 (indicating an obligate wetland species) to 5 (indicating a dry, upland species). A complete list of Missouri’s flora can be found on another web site.

¹ These native species were brought to the farm as seeds or small plants as part of one of my restoration projects. They did not occur here naturally as far as I know.

² These species are considered non-native invasive species in Missouri and are actively removed on an annual and ongoing basis. Other listed non-native species considered invasive are actually benign here except in habitats that are highly disturbed. Since I’m managing the site for overall stability, these species are ignored under the assumption that they will fade naturally (and they typically do). If they do not fade or they actually proliferate, I adjust my assumptions and start removing them.

The following species are no longer found on the site even though they were here for at least a brief time. This includes native species that were brought here and didn’t persist after a few years because of competition or suboptimal growing conditions. It also includes invasive species that have been completely eradicated.
