TAYLOR'S PRESERVE

CINNAMINSON, BURLINGTON CO., NJ.

July 10, 1994

This trip investigated wood edges, the margins of cultivated fields, shallow freshwater wetlands, and the gravelly intertidal zone of the Delaware River.

A list of 207 plants was compiled, of which 80 were non-native species, as might be expected in a long-farmed, disturbed site. A copy of the list is available on request.

Polygonum perfoliatum a single species found; this is the second reported location for this invasive introduced plant in New Jersey, and the first record for Burlington County.

Another introduction, Lobelia chinense in bloom, dominating the intertidal zone; Rumex verticillatus growing with Lobelia chinense; Amaranthus cannabinus; Myosotis laxa; Polygonum sp. Trip leader: Karl Anderson.
