Flora
of the Carolinas, Virginia, & Georgia by Alan S. Weakley
(working drafts) has been the major source of descriptions of additional
species, taxonomic clarification and revisions, updated nomenclature,
information on native status, and synonymy.
Anyone who
knows Charles R. Thompson, RainCloud Studios,
will understand that there is no way I can thank him enough
for shining a light through the fog of cyberspace.
I
am forever grateful that there were unfenced woods behind our house when
I was growing up (where my brother strung a network
of old army field telephones). This woods will always be part of who I
am.
... I'm glad that my mom taught me to see each leaf as
a work of art.
... And I'm grateful for the patience of my husband, Steve.
