  1. San Miguel and Lower Dolores River Drainages. This represents a thesis project by Margarette J. Lyon. Fieldwork was conducted during the summers of 1993 and 1994. The area encompassed the Colorado Plateau-Canyonlands portion of the San Miguel National Forest (Mesa, Montrose, and San Miguel counties) for a total of 2,500 mi2 ranging in elevation from 4,095 to 14,071 feet. Collected were 7,163 specimens documenting 997 unique taxa. An additional 201 “historical” taxa at the RM/USFS raised the total unique taxa to 1,198. Species of conservation concern totaled 26 documented at 71 sites. Also vouchered were 68 exotics and noxious weeds. Funding was provided by the Bureau of Land Management-Montrose District, Uncompahgre National Forest, The Nature Conservancy, Colorado Natural Heritage Program, and the University of Wyoming.
  2. Wyoming, Basins and Mountains of Southwest, and the Uinta Mountains of Utah. This represents the thesis project by Charmaine Refsdal Delmatier. Fieldwork was conducted during the summers of 1994 and 1995. The area encompassed the Lower Green River Basin, Bear River drainage, north slope of the Uintas, Browns Park (Lincoln, Sweetwater, and Uinta counties Wyoming; Daggett, Rich, and Summit counties, Utah) for a total of 6,458 mi2 ranging in elevation from 5,400 to 13,528 feet. Collected were 8,855 specimens documenting 1,175 unique taxa. An additional of 128 Wyoming and 310 Utah “historical” records at RM/USFS raised the figure to 1,613 total unique taxa. Ten species previously unknown from Wyoming were discovered. Cymopterus constancei was described as new to science. Species of conservation concern totaled 56 documented at 80 sites. Also vouchered were 81 exotics including ten noxious weeds for Wyoming. Funding was provided by the Bureau of Land Management, Ashley National Forest, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the University of Wyoming.
