HURON MOUNTAIN CLUB BRYOPHYTE AND LICHEN COLLECTION DEPOSITED AT NORTHERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY

摘要

This paper reports the transfer of the Manierre collection of nonvascular plants from the Huron Mountain Club to the Herbarium of Northern Michigan University in Marquette where, upon application, it is now available for scientific study. The collection contains specimens of 701 species or near species of mosses, liverworts, lichens and hornworts in approximately 291 genera including a large number of rarities-all collected within the 20,000 acres of the protected lands of the Huron Mountain Club. The timing of this announcement is peculiarly appropriate as the threat of sulfide mining at the headwaters of the Salmon Trout River becomes increasingly imminent.
