Summary:Calloway County is located in the southeastern corner of the Jackson Purchase Area in the western third of Kentucky. The Jackson Purchase Area is the only section of Kentucky that contains coastal plain sediments. Calloway County consists of 99,460 hectares of which 43 percent is under cultivation. Forty-nine habitats, such as wet low-land and dry upland forests, outcrops, gravel pits, various disturbed areas, prairies, old fields, inundated shorelines, ponds, floodplains, seeps, and mud flats, were systematically collected from April 1981 to October 1986. Also the Murray State University (MUR) and the Athey (MEM) herbaria were searched for specimens previously collected in Calloway County, Kentucky. The 1018 species, subspecies and varieties representing 462 genera and 129 families found to occur within Calloway County, Kentucky are presented in an annotated checklist.
