Abstract	The vascular flora of Momence Wetlands, Kankakee County, Illinois, was studied during the 1998 1999 growing seasons. A total of 385 taxa were found: 6 ferns and fern-allies, 89 monocots, and 290 dicots. Families with the largest number of taxa included the aster family (Asteraceae) with 59 taxa, grass family (Poaceae) 44 taxa, and sedge family (Cyperaceae) 26 taxa, of which 17 were members of the sedge genus (Carex). This is the northern-most location in Illinois for four taxa generally associated with swamps in southern Illinois: swamp cottonwood (Populus heterophylla), pumpkin ash (Fraxinus profunda ), climbing hempweed (Mikania scandens ), and the state threatened American storax (Styrax americana). Three forest communities (wet floodplain, wet-mesic floodplain, dry-mesic upland) were surveyed, and density (stems/ha), basal area (m2/ha), importance value, and average diameter were determined for each overstory species. Wet floodplain forest was dominated by silver maple (Acer saccharinum ); wet-mesic floodplain forest by swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor), pin oak (Quercus palustris), American elm (Ulmus americana), and red/green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica); and dry-mesic upland forest by black oak (Quercus velutina) and white oak (Quercus alba). A wetmesic prairie remnant dominated by northern dewberry (Rubus flagellaris), downy sunflower (Helianthus mollis), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), and tall goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) was also surveyed.
