Abstract

Two Moon Park, a 61-ha (150-acre) Yellowstone County Park, located north of the Yellowstone River east of Billings, Montana, is a designated wildlife preserve. In a checklist of the vascular plants of Two Moon Park, 114 species were catalogued among 40 families and 95 genera (Khaleel et al. 2000). Examination of these taxa revealed several species that are designated as noxious weeds in Montana and several others classified as INVADERS/USDA noxious weeds listed in PLANTS database (USDA National Resources Conservation Service 1999).
