This floristic survey of the Thompson River watershed is the last in a series of such studies of the gorges of the southern Blue Ridge escarpment. The study area is described and comments are made on the vegetation types represented. The annotated checklist includes one state record for North Carolina (Transylvania Co.), Calamagrostis porteri A. Gray, and one state record for South Carolina (Oconee Co.), Polygonum cespitosum L. var. longisetum (DeBruyn) Stewart. Forty-five species are reported as new to the escarpment gorges, of which twenty-one are also records for Transylvania Co., N. C., one for Jackson Co., N. C., and two for Oconee Co., S. C. A total of 547 species was collected.
