DEDICATION 



The National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands is respectfully 

 dedicated to Neil Hotchkiss and Francis M. Uhler, who made this work possible 

 by their contributions to wetland botany and ecology. These two scientists 

 focused their long and productive careers on the study of wetlands long before 

 our current emphasis on wetland systems began. They aided in producing the Fish 

 and Wildlife Service's first wetland classification system, developed initial 

 lists and guidebooks to the wetland plants of the United States, and produced 

 many studies on the ecology and management of wetlands and their value to 

 wildlife. It is my sincere pleasure and humble gratitude to acknowledge the 

 dependence of this current work on their long and untiring efforts.
