Vascular Plants of the University of Kansas Field Station

The University of Kansas Field Station (KUFS) supports a diverse vascular flora of more than 700 species, including 19 species that are rare in Kansas. Principal habitats include deciduous forest, tallgrass prairie, cool-season grassland, aquatic and wetland sites, and land in various stages of ecological succession (old fields and woodlands). A total of 718 species and infraspecific taxa in 371 genera and 103 families of vascular plants are listed. These numbers represent 33% of the species and infraspecific taxa, 51% of the genera, and 71% of the families in Kansas (Brooks 1986).
