- Abstract
A vascular plant reconnaissance was conducted at the Hancock Biological Station (HBS) of Murray State University during the summers of 2012-2015. The HBS a 37.5-ha tract of mainly upland oak-hickory forest, is located 23 km from Murray, Kentucky, in northeastern Calloway County within the Jackson Purchase Region. In 2007, a floristic study of HBS reported 573 specific and infraspecific taxa in 334 genera from 121 families. Twenty-one additional taxa (12 native, 9 non-native) have been documented from incidental collections. Thirteen taxa were new Calloway County distribution records including five Kentucky-listed invasive species. Ulmus alata was also documented as a new host tree for Phoradendron leucarpum ssp. leucarpum in Calloway County. The documented native and exotic f lora of HBS presently consists of 594 taxa, 345 genera, and 126 families.
