Dennis, have you looked in the Flora of Ohio. State Floras usually give locations where plants have been identified. I often use Flora of Missouri as a starting point. It has state maps showing all counties where a species is known to occur. Of course this info is can be outdated and often does not all locations where a plant occurs but just where it has been ID'd, usually by a botany student. </blockquote></x-html>



I searched the Library catalog and closest I could find is a title "Field manual of the flora of Ohio and adjacent territory".  It's from 1929, so I'm not sure how accurate it will be considering all the development of the past 75 years.  I'm going to stop by a local university library and investigate this book further.
