The collection, gathered and assembled by John Pierce, 1974 botany graduate from yontana State University, Bozeman, contains, at present, three-hundred and fourteen plants. By the spring. of 1979 the collection should contain about twice that number and be at least 90% complete. Actual collecting began June 14, 1977, and continued through the summer and fall. Therefore, there are no spring flowers in the collection yet. During the winter, John assembled the material.th8tiih now in the. library, and this spring has returned to the Rattlesnake to continue his collecting. The plants collected this year will be ready for the herbarium next year. The herbarium consists of two large filing cabinets filled with the pressed plants; two card catalogs, one for the common names and one for the . botanical, or Latin, name; a temporary key worked out especially for the Rat- tlesnake plants by John (ask for this key at the reference desk); and sever- al reference volumes: Flora of Montana Part 2 by W.E. Booth and J Wright (dicots) Tlora of Montana. Conifers and knocots by Barton E. Hahn by. C. Leo Hitchcock and Arthur Cronquist Tof by C.C.L. Porter John has included habitat information, medicinal values, plant uses, tox- icity, native area, and meanings of the Latin names. Composites, grasses, sedges, and smaller flowers include flower dissections. John will be leading a spring wildflower hike in the Bitterroots on June 11. On the 5th and 6th of August Bill Kerling will join John in leading a trip up the Rattlesnake to include plant and bird identification and nature photography. It will be well worth your time to join these hikes. ********t****t**********t****t*tt***t***************************** MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS: Carol Butterbaugh, Dick and Adele Wolff and family, Richard and Carol Adler and family, Shlomo Li'beskind, Jim Dyer. ..................................................................
