Spring Flora of the Hamley Run area (Miles 10.5-13.5)

The following species of herbaceous plants were recorded between mile markers 10.5 and 13.5 of the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway in the spring of 1998. This includes most of the part that borders Hamley Run Road, as well as the segment between Hamley Run (mile 12) and Glen Ebon Road (County Road 4).

This floristic survey was conducted by Jennifer Dean, an honors tutorial student in Ohio University's Department of Environmental and Plant Biology, under the supervision of Dr. Philip Cantino.
