GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK

"Heath Balds" in Great Smoky Mountains National Park are dominated by the family Ericaceae. Plants in this family that may be found there include Catawba Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, Sand Myrtle, Blueberries, Huckleberries, Azaleas and Wintergreen.

Pitcher plants, carnivorous plants which use insects as a source of nitrogen, are also in this order. Pitcher plants are found around bogs, such as those found in the Adirondacks, and other nutrient-poor locations.

  • Alula (Brighamia insignis) - Climatron at MOBOT, Hawaii (Kauai and Molokai)
    "The Brighamia has been called one of the most unusual plants. It is also one of the most rare. It was first discovered on the island of Niihau in the 1850's and at one time could be found on Niihau, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai and Maui.
    Today less than 200 individuals exist in the wild, scattered along steep, nearly inaccessible cliffs on the islands of Kauai and Molokai. Reasons for its decline include lack of natural pollinators, displacement by invasive exotic plants and disturbance by feral goats." - Sign in MOBOT
