The following is a list of characteristic Magnolia Bog species (McAtee 1918, Hitchcock and Standley 1919, Shetler 1970, Simmons and Strong 2001, Fleming et al. 2001) that occur in the Araby Bog. Species actively tracked by the Maryland Natural Heritage Program (noted below) have a state rank of Sl (highly state rare) or S2 (state rare) and sometimes a state status of E (endangered) or T (threatened). A watchlist species has a state rank of S3 and is rare to uncommon, but is not actively tracked. A species that was historically known from Maryland with the expectation that it may be rediscovered has a rank of SH. A species that is believed to be extirpated in Maryland with little or no chance of rediscovery has a rank of SX.
