notes are given for each species. - Frank A. Lang
Current Crater Lake Botanists: Peter F. Zika
The historical plant lists compiled by Wynd and Applegate were
recently updated and expanded by Peter F. Zika, who began park survey work
through the Oregon Natural Heritage Program during the summers of 1994 and 1995. Additional field work and examination of herbarium
specimens led to “A Crater Lake National Park Vascular Plant Checklist.”
The publication lists the narrow
endemics of Crater Lake and the Park’s immediate surroundings, including
Botrychium pumicola, Collomia mazama, and Ribes erythrocarpum.
Other southern Oregon endemics found in the Park include Arenaria pumicola,
Castilleja applegatei ssp. applegatei, and Polygonum cascadense.
Species that have not been seen since early collections are noted, providing
botanists the opportunity to search for them.
