Supplementary material 6 from: Howell N, Krings A, Braham R (2016) Guide to the littoral zone vascular flora of Carolina bay lakes (U.S.A.). Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e7964. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.4.e7964

Taxa are organized by major plant groups (i.e., pteridophytes, gymnosperms, basal angiosperms, magnoliids, monocotyledons, and eudicotyledons), then alphabetically by family, genus, and species. Parentheses around a taxon indicate that it is not vouchered (i.e., it has been reported by state agencies or has been observed by the first author, but has not been collected as a voucher specimen; see text for details). For taxa collected from Carolina bay lake littoral zones by the present author, abundance estimates sensu Palmer et al. (1995) are provided. Abundance estimates in this checklist reflect the abundance in which the taxa occur within each lake. Status and rank designations are also provided for rare taxa monitored by the NC Natural Heritage Program (Robinson and Finnegan 2014). The term "restricted" is used here only to indicate the presence of a taxon within a particular lake among all those surveyed and not in a global sense (e.g., a taxon here considered restricted to Lake Waccamaw has not been found in the other lakes surveyed, but may exist in other localities in the state or country). A = Abundant; F= Frequent; I=Infrequent; O = Occasional; R = Rare; = þ restricted to lake indicated; () = not vouchered (i.e., reported by state agencies or observed by the present author, but not collected as a voucher specimen; see text for details); H = taxon has been collected and vouchered in the past but not by the present author. BALA = Bakers Lake; BATR = Bay Tree Lake; HOLA = Horseshoe Lake; JOLA = Jones Lake; LAWA = Lake Waccamaw; LISI = Little Singletary; SALA = Salters Lake; SILA = Singletary Lake.
