Request for Revisions
In the hope that the Checklist will be expanded and updated, we will gladly receive
constructive comments from any source. We kindly request that all such comments
be submitted to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Herbarium. Mail can be sent
to: Mark A. Wetter, Herbarium, Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin,
132 Birge Hall, 430 Lincoln Drive, Madison, WI 53706-1381. Email can be sent to
Wetter at mawetter@facstaff.wisc.edu
or Cochrane at tscochra@facstaff.wisc.edu.
Faxes (attn. Herbarium) can be sent to 608-262-7509. All comments will be evaluated
and incorporated if appropriate. Revised versions of this Checklist are scheduled
to be posted on the Herbarium web page (http://www.botany/wisc.edu/herbarium/index.html)
on a regular basis. Technical questions concerning the structure of the taxonomic
database should be directed to Glen Barry at gbarry@wisc.edu.
Should you discover a taxon previously unreported from Wisconsin, or one so
rare or local that additional records are of interest, please send a voucher
specimen with label data to one of the major in-state herbaria, the two largest
of which are: University of Wisconsin-Madison Herbarium, Department of Botany,
430 Lincoln Drive, Madison, WI 53706; Section for Botany Herbarium, Milwaukee
Public Museum, 800 W. Wells Street, Milwaukee, WI 53233. However, do not collect
a specimen if the plant is known to be endangered or threatened, or if doing
so would jeopardize the future of the population. Nor should orchids, lilies,
or gentians ever be dug. A single flower and leaf, plus a color photograph,
are enough to voucher their presence. Readers are requested to advise the BER,
Wisconsin DNR of any Wisconsin endangered, threatened, and special concern species
they may encounter. Copies of the Wisconsin Rare Plant Reporting Form may be
obtained from the Natural Heritage Program, Bureau of Endangered Resources,
Department of Natural Resources, Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707.
