Thanks, Marian, and of course I realize that 10 years is a long, long =20=

time regarding taxonomic currency!  Nevertheless, your version of the =20=

FLORA is the best we non-botanists can do.  Of course, those of us =20
here can check with Ruth for current names, and people in the Halifax =20=

region can contact you or Laurel via the Museum of Natural History.

Regards to you, too, from Jim
