Editorial: Botanizing with Larry Magrath

Sunday, October 4, 1998. A field trip for two doesn’t take much planning – a phone call will do: “One of my students has brought in a collection of Scirpus hallii. Want to go with me on Sunday to verify the site?” Well, of course! Larry was one of the state’s most ardent collectors, and S. hallii (name since changed to Schoenoplectus hallii) is a sedge. That makes it a plant I need to know.
