Trees and Shrubs


Below are the common names of the 102 species of trees and shrubs known to occur in the Natural Area Teaching Laboratory. Each name is linked to a record for the species that includes its scientific name, its status in NATL, and links to distribution maps, photographs, and further information. Because plants often have more than one common name, several species are here listed under more than one name.
Note: If you don’t find a two-word name under the first word, look for it under the second word. For example, you will find Live Oak under “Oak, Live.”
