Vascular plants consist of both woody species and non-woody ones. Trees, shrubs, and woody vines are in the first grouping, whereas herbaceous vines, graminoids (grasses, sedges, and rushes), and “forbs” (all other herbaceous plants that include “wildflowers”) comprise the second grouping. As one might expect, there is a huge number of ...

This is primarily a Northern species of local and puzzling distribution. It ranges north to NH and NE, and south to central AL and OK. It appears to be very scarce in the Ohio Valley area, with most records from PA northward and OK to IA. Abundance.

The first vascular plants evolved about 420 million years ago. They probably evolved from moss-like bryophyte ancestors, but they had a life cycle dominated by the diploid sporophyte generation. As they continued to evolve, early vascular plants became more plant-like in other ways as well.
3. Duke Herbarium houses nearly 400,000 specimens of vascular plants, including 821 types. The collection is especially rich in accessions from the Southeastern United States, in particular for the Carolinas, and Mesoamerica. The vascular plant herbarium contains an important collection of over 22,000 sheets from La Selva in Costa Rica.
