An examination of previously unaccessioned and overlooked specimens has added 16 species to the vascular flora of the 3800 ha Rocky Fork Tract in northeastern Tennessee. One species was deleted because of a prior misidentification for a net gain of 15 species and a total of 764 species. One species, Solidago lancifolia (Torr. ex A. Gray) Chapm., is listed as Endangered in Tennessee. All additions except two, represent county records.
