We don't have county-specific lists, but you can use the resources linked below, which list many species that occur anywhere in Maryland, to narrow-down which grow naturally in the Mountain Zone of the state. They are not exhaustive lists, since they focus on "garden-worthy" species that tend to have showy aesthetic attributes and/or those which are more readily available for purchase, but they're a great starting point.
