Glassy Mountain is a monadnock that is the remnant of a pluton. For information on its origins check the post here. Read more info on the plants at Glassy in Glassy Mountain Heritage Preserve by Patrick D. McMillan
We didn’t get to Glassy on the field trip this year, but fortunately Joe took pictures when he scouted. Photography by Joe Standaert. Click on any picture to zoom. Plants that are non-native to North America are indicated by an asterisk (*) placed after the species name.
