After a premature end to field season 22 with a surprise surgery, I was able to extensively botanize Nevada during the first half of 2023 with all of the maritime precipitation that fell. These two phenomena have contributed to a bit of a slowdown in the actual writing of the Flora of Nevada, but the writing has nevertheless proceeded steadily in the background (and foreground when possible) and we are getting close to 150,000 words. More contributors continue to come on board, and the list of needed treatments below is essentially still intact–please get in touch if interested! Or ask me about ANY genus and there is about a 15-20% chance that it is still available for treatment.
Come hear about the work at Botany 2023 if attending and interested. My next highest priority as regards this work is to secure a publisher–the first one solicited had no qualms about the worthiness of the work but simply reported they are not publishing new field guides any longer.
3-4 new manuscripts will likely be published this year and will be reported here when so–two treat the genus Stellaria, and the other two treat the flora of Central Asia.
Shaky wilderness videos continue to be posted on the Flora of Nevada YouTube page.
