Plants of Lanark County, Ontario (2010 ed.) Page 2 David J. White, March 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank a number of people for their important contribution to the checklist. Dan Brunton, Ottawa, has provided many records, offered on-going support and encouragement, helped with identifications, and reviewed several earlier drafts of the list. Mike Oldham, Natural Heritage Information Centre, Peterborough, reviewed earlier drafts of the list, provided many records over the years, and made available the database of Lanark County records from the herbarium of Queen’s University. Mike also checked the identification of over 100 of my voucher specimens of grasses and sedges. Stephen Darbyshire, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, reviewed the grass family, provided a number of records, and helped locate relevant literature. Don Cuddy, formerly with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), Kemptville, made field notes available and reviewed several early drafts of the list.
