Acknowledgement: This is the work of Dr. Kenneth Robertson, who retired from the Illinois Natural History Survey in 2008, but is still pursuing his love of plants. He is a plant systematist (taxonomist), which means that he studies how plants are classified and related to each other. As visitors can see, he is also interested in natural areas in Illinois, especially prairies, and in botanical gardens and arboreta.
