Plant mounters and botanists
alike remember Demaree's collections for their plant labels. He was never
shy about passing judgement on the specimens he gathered. These labels show
how late he worked, his running commentary, and his habit of designating
collection site by the nearest Post Office. See also the specimen of Gaura
filiformis Small on the next exhibit panel, renamed for Demaree by Raven
and Gregory in 1967-68. Missouri Botanical Garden collections. Click on
