Newberry describing the geology of central Oregon in 1855) ISSN 1055-419X Volume 22, 2019 Editorial KALMIOPSIS In re-reading my editorial from the 2015 issue of Kalmiopsis, I Journal of the Native Plant Society of Oregon, ©2019 see that I resigned from the position of Editor in 2013, now six years ago. Those six years have seen many changes, some in my life, others in the Native Plant Society of Oregon. I have more time to edit the journal because I no longer have a big garden, vineyard, and chickens since my husband and I moved to central Oregon. In addition, after working on a Field Guide to Grasses of Oregon and Washington for 16 years with the Carex Working Group, we published it this year with OSU Press. In NPSO, the Bulletin is now digital, but we’re still waiting for a website redesign, and the NPSO budget is no longer able to fund a print copy of Kalmiopsis. This past summer, Frank Lang, who was the first editor of Kalmiopsis and was at my side for most of the is- sues I edited, left us. The book that our other long-term editor Rhoda Love planned to publish at UW Press (with co-editor Art Kruckeberg), Plant Hunters of the Pacific Northwest, was dropped by the Press. In response, the Montana Native Plant Society pub- lished the stories of Montana botanists in a gorgeous full-color book, Montana Pioneer Botanists.
