	Photography and visual presentation of information to identify plants Current Projects I am nearing the completion of the Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Flora of Indiana, which will bring together in one place information about all of the plants recorded for Indiana. This is the first comprehensive list of species published since 1982 and will have over 3,120 species, subspecies, and variety records. Each entry will include the source of the record for Indiana, synonyms used in Indiana publications, and several other pieces of information. As soon as the Annotated Checklist is completed, a simple checklist of the over 2,780 species in Indiana will be posted on Missouri Botanical Garden’s website. When that checklist is online, I will start adding Indiana Species Pages. These are 8 1/2 × 11-inch PDFs that users can download and print out on their own printer. Examples of these are: Butomus umbellatus Calirhoe triangulata Commelina erecta Hydrophyllum virginianum Phacelia covillei Public Outreach I was a founding member of the Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society and the Brown County Spring Wildflower Count. I continue to do public outreach for both of these organizations. I also lead other wildflower-identification hikes, participate in inventories and bioblitzes, and give numerous slide presentations about the plants of Indiana. I recently did a handout for my Special Presentation to the Indiana Academy of Science that compares the plant family names used for Indiana plants in Deam’s 1940 Flora of Indiana, Gleason and Cronquist’s 1991 Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada, the volumes of the Flora of North America series, and the new system being actively worked on the the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.
