At that time, such things as chemically synthesized insect repellents were int abailable, so people had to rely on naturally found repellents to discourage or get rid of insects. One family of aromatic plants seems to have been often used, either hung in animal sheds or houses, or used in cleaning the house. Old herbal s often refer to branches of "wormwood" used as a broom to sweep out medieval cottages (and castles!) in the spring after the long "indoor days" of winter. Wormwood seems to be somewhat of a catch-all term applying to members of the sage or Artemesia family. Whether they received this name because of the plant was used to chase out insects, or because the larger stems/trunks appear to be worm-eaten, remains to be seen. Another pos- sibility for this common name might be related to the practice of chewing leaves or making an infusion/tea of them to relieve indigestion (possibly intestinal worms?). Artemesia tridentata other traditional uses of various species of Artemisia include treatments for colds (place bruised leaves in the nostrils), rheumatism (wrap yourself in bundles of sage and then apply heat“-one wonders whether it was the sage or the heat that cured!), and to stop bleeding (chew some leaves and apply as a poultice). Some American Indian tribes favored local varieties of Artemisia above all other medicinal plants. This 1 $ not to say that this writer is neces- sarily advocating the use of Artemisia medic- inally. One excellent use for the local Artemi si as , of which Colorado boasts approximately fifteen species, is as a dyestuff. Methods for pre- paring fibers, mordant baths, and dyebaths are basically the same as for any other plant used to produce dye (see CoNPS NEWSLETTER, Vol . 1, No. 4), For decades, Navajo Indians have used species of Artemisia to color the wool yarn they have spun and which they weave into their ruqs and blankets. Excellent shades of gold, yellow, rust, ochre, green and grey may be ob- tained by using a variety of metal salt mordants on wool. These colors rank as better than average in terms of lightfastness and washfast- ness . Artemisia tridentata Nutt, (big sagebrush), which is found in southern and western areas of Colorado, seems to produce the best results. This plant is easily identifiable because of its grey-green colored, three-toothed leaves, strong “sage'* aroma, small yellow flowers late in the summer, and woody stems. The plant bay grow to eight or more feet in height in areas where there is ample water. Though animals browse the plant, it is often pulled or burned out by ranchers preferring grassland. A good place to see plenty of this sage, smell it, and harvest (prune tender branches with leaves in the fall) some of it is in Middle Park. Get permission if you are going on private property before you cut! While you are at it, get an extra sprig or two to dry and place among stored woolens to keep the moths away!

How can you fill your yard with native flowers, shrubs and trees? This year's program will acquaint you with practical techniques that work well in collecting and treating seed and growing natives. Slide illustrated presentations will be given by several people, with each speaker sharing his/her knowledge and experiences in a different specialized field. The speakers include: Barbara Hyde, a Boulder County extension agent who cultivated wildf lowers In her own garden for many years; Dean Swift, a professional woody plant seed collector, whose family has been in the commercial seed and nursery business for many years; and members of the CoNPS Horticulture and Revegetation Conrnittee. In addition to informing you about techniques that do work, we plan to tell you about areas in which experimentation and additional infor- mation is still needed. We hope the program will provide inspiration to beginners who would like to dabble in growing natives, give more experienced members some new ideas, and begin an active exchange of knowledge among all native growers. See you there! CoNPS BYLAWS Copies of the CoNPS Bylaws will be available during the Conversation Hour of the October Annual Meeting. During the Business Hour of this meeting, members may bring forth proposed amendments to the Bylaws before the general membership. Should copies of the Bylaws be desired via mail prior to the Annual Meeting, please call Scott Peterson at 234-2083 (days). FUNDING FOR ENDANGERED PLANTS Endangered plants will receive 2.9 million dollars for the listing and identification of critical habitat. These funds will be given to states on a 2/3-1/3 matching basis. It is unknown if or what Colorado will receive. The availability of these funds are based on the Endangered Species Act of 1973. FIELD TRIP REPORTS NORTH PARK RHODODENDRON FIELD TRIP REPORT-July 16 This field trip sponsored by the Fort Collins Chapter, was a botanical delight for those attending. The walking field trip began at the Mt. Zirkle Wilderness boundary along Lone Pine Creek west of Walden, The first 1.5 miles passed through a lower elevation coniferous forest ccmi- posed primarily of lodgepole pine, Douglas Fir and a rich understory of Ribes , Lonicera , Shepherdia and Pachvstima. The second and last mile, terminating at Lake Katherine at 9800 ft,, traversed a forest of Douglas fir, Colorado and Engelmann spruce and White fir. Although rhododendrons were first encountered near the trail head, they became more common on the slopes bordering the outlet stream of Lake Katherine and com- pose the dominant understory shrub be- neath Engelmann spruce. Subalpine fir and an occasional limber pine along the shores of Lake Katherine. The following species list, compiled by Gail Evans and Dieter Mil ken, represents plants identified on the field trip: Achillea lanulosa Aeon 1 turn columbianum Agoseris aurantiaca Agoseris glauca Alnus tenufolia Anaphalis margaritacea Antennaria rosea Androsace septentrional is Aqullegia caerulea Arnica cordifolia Arnica latifolia Arnica longi folia Arnica mollis Arnica parryi Artemisia dracunculus Arenaria fendleri Aster follaceus Aster engelmannii Betula glandulosa Calamagrostis canadensis Caltha leptosepala Cardamine cordifolia Castnieja sulphurea Castilleja rhexi folia Campanula rotundi folia Carex phaeocephalus Collomia linearis Cystopteri s frag ills Cryptogramma crispa Draba albertina Delphinium barbeyi Deschampsia caespitosa Dodecatheon radicatum Epllobiurn hornemannil Epilobium angustlflium Erigeron melanocephalus Erigeron elatior Erigeron peregrinus Eriogonum alpinum Eriogonum umbel latum Erythronium grandiflorum Fragaria oval is Frasera speciosa Galium broeale Geranium caespltosum Geranium r1 chard so nil Geum rivale Habenaria dilatata Habenaria saccata Helianthella quinguenervis Heracleum lanatum Heterotheca villosa Hieracium albiflorum Geum macrophyllum Hieracium gracile Ipomopsis attenuata Juniperus communis Juncus mertensianus Lis ter a cordata Ligusticum porteri Lonicera involucrata Luzula parviflora Luzula spicata Mahonia repens Martens la viridis Mertensia ciliata Mitel la pentandra Mi tell a stauropetala Mimulus tilingii Mimulus guttatus Moneses uniflora Muhlenbergia richardsonii Oryzopsis hymenoides Osmorhiza obtusa Oxyria digyna Pedicularis groenlandica Pedicularis bracteosa Pedicularis racemosa Penstemon whippleanus Phleum alpinum Potentilla gracilis Potentilla fruticosa Potentilla pensylvanica Phacelia heterophylla Pyrola minor Pyrola secunda Poa Interior Polemonium del lea turn Rosa woodsil Ribes lacustre Ribes cereum Ribes coloradensis Rubus idaeus Rorippa curvipes Sal lx planifol ia Saxifraga bronchial Is Saxifraga odontoloma Saxifraga hyperborea Samfaucus racemosa Sedum rhodanthum Sedum roseum Sedum lanceolatum Selaginella densa Senecio holmii Sececio fremontii Senecio triangularis Sibbaldia procumbens Snilacina racemosa anilacina stellata Sorbus scopulorum Streptopus amplexicaulus Thlaspi montanum Thalictrum sparslflorum Tri foil urn dasyphyllum Trollius laxus Vaccinium myrtillus Vaccinium scoparium Vaccinium caespltosum Veratrum tenui petal um. Vida americana Veronica anagal 1 is-aquatica Veronica wormskjoldii Zigadenus elegans CATHEDRAL BLUFFS FIELD TRIP REPORT-June 25 by Gail Evans The Fort Collins Chapter held its fourth meeting on Saturday, June 25, at Cathedral Bluffs near Meeker, Colorado. Kim Vories led the group, describing the floral character! sties of the area. Chuck Reichert, a WCO, helped in identi- fying the wildlife as well as lending a hand with describing the flora. Only two members attended (one from the Fort Collins area and one from Denver). Three non- members completed the group, making a total of only 7 interested people!! Despite the poor turnout, the trip proved to be very interesting and informative. We were able to see Astragalus lutosus , a rare and endangered species in its native habitat. We also saw the rare and beautiful yellow Aquilegia barneybi . Without Kim's guidance, these elusive plants wuld never have been seen. Along with these less common plants were seen such coimon and yet beautiful plants such as Gil la aggregata , Linum lewisii , Rosa woods ii » Penstemon caespitosus . Amelanchier utahensTs , Symphoricarpos oreophilus , C oma nd ra umbe j ^ Senecio multi lobatus , Cryptantha serTcea' ,'''''' El iogonum umbel latum , Zygadenus venenosus , Sarcobatus vermi I ^ Smilacina~stellata , Stel lari a jamesiana ,' Geranium richardsoni r r i ma and much much more. Abundant wildlife was also seen. Chuck helped with the identification of many bird species which included red tailed hawks, ravens, a golden eagle and turkey vultures. Two herds of wild horses were seen as well as sage grouse, mule deer, marmots and a horny toad, A beaver with kits was seen at Meeker Park on Saturday night. All in all the field trip was very enjoyable and educational for those who attended. We extend our thanks to both Kim and Chuck for giving us their time and knowledge on this trip. NEIGHBORING NATIVE PLANT SOCIETIES In the last issue of the Newsletter, the native plant societies known to exist in the various western states were listed. Due to an error on the part of the editor, the Northern Nevada Native Plant Society was not included. The President of the organization, Margaret Williams, provided many tips to us during the formation of the CoNPS, and I would like to apologize for my error. Those persons wishing to learn more about the NNNPS may contact Margaret at NNPS P.O. Box 1530 Sparks, NV 89431 THE FRAGRANT FRINGED GENTIAN - G&nUana b£mbMa.ta by Jim Ratzloff Illustration by Janet Ratzloff Gentiana ba rbellata Engel m. is a small attrac- tive "planF native to the Rocky Mountains from Wyoming southward. Its species name ' barbellata ' refers to the four corolla lobes, which are deeply fringed at their bases. The common names given G, barbel 1 ata vary from bearded gentian, fragrant gentian, twisted gentian, and fragrant- f ringed gentian. They refer to the flower's delicate fragrance, its fringed corolla lobes, or the floral tube that occasionally twists up toward the lobes. Gentiana barbellata is just 5 to 15 cm. tall (2 to 6 inches). Most of the leaves are basal, but there always are at least two pairs of stem leaves. The upper pair of leaves are never located more than 2 cm. below the solitary flower. The nearness of these upper leaves (or floral bracts, as they are mistakenly called) to the flower, as well as G. b arbel lata ' s small size and perennial habit, distinguish it from the closely related Gentiana thermal is (Rocky Mountain fringed gentian) . G. thermal is is a taller annual plant with a deep blue flower, richer in color than G. barbel lata ' s' purple flower. G. thermal is * corolla lobes are also fringed (hence, the nave fringed gentian), but the deeply fringed barb-like corolla lobe bases of G. barbellata are absent. When visiting the high mountains, it is a treat to find either of these late-summer blooming gentians, §. b arbellata is thought to be somewhat rare range, and is usually found growing singularly, with wide spaces between individuals. The favored habi- tat of barbel lata seems to be subalpine grassy meadows and slopes or edges of spruce- fir forests. The time spent in search of G. barbel lata is more than rewarded after finding this fragrant, delicately fringed flower.

EDITOR'S NOTICE You will notice that there is a lack of botan- ical articles in this issue of the newsletter. This is due to the unavailability of backup articles for those times when most contributors are gone for the summer. In order to avoid this lack of material in the future, we will begin more active solicitation of articles. The articles 1n the past issues should provide you with an idea of what would be acceptable for publication. If you would be interested in providing an article, please contact the editor. Our success depends upon you. CoNPS MIMBERSHIP DUES Membership dues paid after July 1, 1977, will also serve as dues for the 1978 calendar year.
