[edit] Overwhelming task
This page seems to be a bit of an overwhelming task.
There is an authorative book on the subject: Manual of the Higher Plants of Oregon by Morton E Peck (Author) Published by Binford and Mort. With descriptions it is several hundred pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rvannatta (talk • contribs) 00:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, Wikipedia won't be complete this year. :-) I suppose we could speed up the process by spreading lots of pollutants and poisons around. Naw, that would require more articles to be written.... —EncMstr 02:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

- I think that book is 922 pages or so, and the work was done so long ago that printing photos of the plants was too expensive to be practical so it has only descriptions, and was a lifetime of work by Dr. Peck and his widow after his death. Just to recreate that work and add photos could be the lifetime work of several people.Rvannatta (talk) 16:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
