certain groups were made by specialists; these included all 

 Apiaceae and Caryophyllaceae (Ronald Hartman, Rocky Mountain 

 Herbarium, University of Wyoming, Laramie) , all Salicaceae 

 (Robert Dorn, Rocky Mountain Herbarium) , all Poaceae (Michael 

 Curto, Intermountain Herbarium, Utah State University, Logan) , 

 and Castilleja (Sarah Mathews, Montana State University, 

 Bozeman) . All specimens of Potentilla were sent to Barbara 

 Ertter (University Herbarium, U. of California, Berkeley) . 

 The first set of collections will be deposited at the 

 herbarium at Montana State University (MONT) . 



The project got a late start so herbarium work was 

 conducted at MONT during the field season. Historical 

 collections of Potentilla diversifolia and Sidalcea oregana 

 were examined to gain insight into taxonomic questions and 

 locations, respectively. I also organized the limited 

 collection of plants kept by the Gallatin National Forest 

 Herbarium and searched it for records of target species. This 

 collection is kept in a single cabinet located in Marion 

 Cherry's office at the Gallatin National Forest Office in 

 Bozeman. 



In the fall, the historical collections of Artemisia 

 norvegica and Salix cascadensis were borrowed from the 

 University of Washington so that their identities could be 

 verified. In a similar manner, Peter Lesica obligingly 

 checked the specimen of Juncus covillei from the Crazy 

 Mountains at the University of Montana herbarium (MONTU) .
