Botanist-hikers may enjoy browsing the new Consortium of Pacific Northwest Herbaria website. One of its many features is to simply draw a polygon around your next destination, perhaps a remote mountain meadow, and see what specimens have been collected there. From the dreaded Alnus viridis and Oplopanax horridus, to the beloved Vaccinium deliciosum and Morchella esculentoides, it is remarkable how far afield botanists have collected specimens in remote areas.
