Additional information

Dedicated to Professor Victor Westhoff on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

The nomenclature for vascular plants follows Fernald (1950), for lichens Hale & Culberson (1966), for hepaticae Schuster (1953), and for mosses Crum et al. (1965), except forSphagnum rubellum Wils.,S. nemoreum Scop.,S. apiculatum Lindb.,S. parvifolium Warnst.,Polytrichum strictum Menz. ex Brid., andDicranum bergeri Bland.

This research was supported by NSF grant GB-8744 and grants from the University of Connecticut Research Foundation. I wish to thank K.J. Metzler for carefully tabulating the vegetation data, and A.E. Brower and W.J. Meades for their help in locating some bogs in Maine and New Brunswick, respectively.
