Abstract	Cedar Bog Nature Preserve is a relict boreal bog situated in the Mad River valley in Champaign County, west-central Ohio. Originating following the retreat of the Wisconsin glacier, it has been maintained by the combination of a usually cool moist microclimate and a uniform flow of cool ground water. Microclimatic data recorded from 1963 through 1969 demonstrate that Cedar Bog has cooler temperatures and a shorter frostfree period than do adjoining areas. These two factors have resulted in the survival of plants unique to this part of Ohio. Within the Bog area, six major plant associations have been identified—the bog meadow, marl meadow, arbor vitae, swamp forest, hardwood forest, and shrub associations. The marl meadow (the wettest area) lies in the northeast section, with the bog meadow and arbor vitae associations south of it, the swamp forest occurring adjacent to the arbor vitae, on the west and the hardwood forest lying beyond the swamp forest. A total of 546 taxa of vascular plants was identified in the Bog; this list is presented, together with information on occurrence, abundance, and whether or not the species has been reported earlier. Of these taxa, 173 were previously unreported for Cedar Bog, whereas 21 with earlier documented occurrences are now apparently extinct in the Bog.
