[APWG] Terminology still unresolved? Re: Jewelweed

[Wayne Tyson]

Thanks, Alan. I suspect you have the solution. It is fairly dry, but I'm 
hoping to find a place to freeze-dry it first, then I was thinking of 
bedding it in clear plastic case in loose, wrinkled velvet on soft foam with 
a brass plaque so I can hang it on my cubicle wall next to my matching (as 
yet to be acquired) Elvis painting. I want to find the (species-specific?) 
beetle (presumably alien) and ball to insert along with it. I should have 
gathered lesser samples in the area and done flotation analysis to determine 
the seeds and other propagules encased therein, but not having a grant . . . 
(Maybe NSF?).

If it is good and dry, try varnish or shellac.

APWG and y'all:

Speaking of cow manure, my wife found (and I collected--this is the kind of
research I like best) the biggest cow-pie--decorated with alien grass, of
course) I've ever seen--just at the border of the Antelope Refuge in
Southeastern Oregon last October (we also saw, a few miles west of the
refuge, the largest herd of pronghorns I've ever seen, stretching from
horizon to horizon, bright in the setting sun). Can anyone advise me on how
best to preserve and mount this trophy for hanging on my wall? If anyone has
found a bigger one I'll be crushed, but them's the breaks in research, eh?

WT

PS: I'm still holding out hope for the terminology under discussion to be
resolved . . .
