  • Summer 2015E Asonvolume 44S Number 2 a Note from the Executive Director
    SSummer 2015E ASONVolume 44S Number 2 A Note from the Executive Director PAUL W. MEYER, The F. Otto Haas Executive Director Flora of Pennsylvania: Taking Plant Science Research to the Next Level otanical and horticultural research were central to the vision of John and Lydia Morris as they planned the future of the institution we now know as the Morris Arboretum of the University Bof Pennsylvania. And, since 1933, Arboretum staff and students have focused on developing information and expertise on the native and naturalized plants of Pennsylvania. This work has resulted in a series of definitive publications including two editions of Plants of Pennsylvania, Trees of Photo: Nick Kelsh Pennsylvania, and most recently, Aquatic Plants of Pennsylvania. In 1980, the Arboretum assumed leadership in developing an electronic database for the Pennsylvania flora, and since then it has continued to build and expand the wealth of information included. Today, this database covers more than 3,000 taxa of plants and includes more than 400,000 records of plant occurrences, each based on a physical herbarium specimen. Information derived from the database informs teachers, students, landscape professionals, and natural lands managers, as well as amateur plant enthusiasts. Each year the database is augmented with new information resulting from extensive field work conducted throughout the Commonwealth. As an outcome of strategic planning, this work will continue, and the Morris Arboretum will build its expertise on Pennsylvania plants and develop recommendations for their protection and conservation. However, while science has moved forward, we currently do not have the laboratory equipment and supplies needed to conduct the tests and experiments which will answer critical questions related to understanding Pennsylvania plants, especially those which are rare, threatened or endangered.
