Notes on the Conifers of the Shenandoah National Park

This paper deals with the conifers, both native and introduced species, that are found growing in the Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. It is also the beginning of a semi-popular treatment of the vascular flora of the Park. The data and records presented here have come mostly from field work done by the author during the past few years and supplemented by collections and literature of other botanists who have worked with the flora of this area. Voucher specimens of all work have been deposited either in the herbarium of the U. S. National Arboretum in Washington, D. C., or in the herbarium at the Park headquarters.
