EDITORIAL 
At long last your journal Kalmiopsis appears. This issue 
celebrates four major projects in Oregon of great 
interest to NPSO membership. First, a selection by 
Susan Kephart from the upcoming biographical 
compendium. Plant Hunters of the Pacific Northwest, 
edited by Art Kruckeberg and Rhoda Love. Second, a 
summary of the Oregon Flora Project by Ken Cham¬ 
bers and Scott Sundberg, with a complete list of name 
changes for Asteraceae. Third, an overview of the 
Siskiyou Field Project, by Jen Marsden and Eric Jules, 
including a listing of classes for 2001, and finally, a 
sampling of the Carex Working Group's tome on 
Oregon sedges. Many thanks to the authors for their 
contributions, to readers for their patience, and 
especially to the invaluable help of new assistant editor 
Cindy Roche. We have implemented many changes 
within Kalmiopsis, and look forward to receiving your 
comments.
