Herbarium
A herbarium (plural: herbaria) is a collection of preserved plant specimens and associated data used for scientific study. The specimens may be whole plants or plant parts; these will usually be in dried form mounted on a sheet of paper (called ''exsiccatum'', plur. ''exsiccata'') but, depending upon the material, may also be stored in boxes or kept in alcohol or other preservative. The specimens in a herbarium are often used as reference material in describing plant taxa; some specimens may be types. The same term is often used in mycology to describe an equivalent collection of preserved fungi, otherwise known as a fungarium. A xylarium is a herbarium specialising in specimens of wood. The term hortorium (as in the Liberty Hyde Bailey Hortorium) has occasionally been applied to a herbarium specialising in preserving material of horticultural origin. History The making of herbaria is an ancient phenomenon, at least six centuries old, although the techniques have changed l ...

Dolly Sods Wilderness
The Dolly Sods Wilderness – originally simply Dolly Sods – is a U.S. Wilderness Area in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, US, and is part of the Monongahela National Forest (MNF) of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). Dolly Sods is a rocky, high-altitude plateau with sweeping vistas and lifeforms normally found much farther north in Canada. To the north, the distinctive landscape of "the Sods" is characterized by stunted ("flagged") trees, wind-carved boulders, heath barrens, grassy meadows created in the last century by logging and fires, and sphagnum bogs that are much older. To the south, a dense cove forest occupies the branched canyon excavated by the North Fork of Red Creek. The name derives from an 18th-century German homesteading family – the Dahles – and a local term for an open mountaintop meadow – a "sods". Geography Topography Dolly Sods is the highest plateau east of the Mississippi River with altitudes ranging from 2,644 ft. (806 m) ...

Monongahela National Forest
The Monongahela National Forest is a national forest located in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA. It protects over of federally managed land within a proclamation boundary that includes much of the Potomac Highlands Region and portions of 10 counties. The Monongahela National Forest includes some major landform features such as the Allegheny Front and the western portion of the Ridge-and-valley Appalachians. Within the forest boundaries lie some of the highest mountain peaks in the state, including the highest, Spruce Knob (4,863 ft). Spruce Knob is also the highest point in the Allegheny Mountains. Approximately 75 tree species are found in the forest. Almost all of the trees are a second growth forest, grown back after the land was heavily cutover around the start of the 20th century. Species for which the forest is important include red spruce (''Picea rubens''), balsam fir (''Abies balsamea''), and mountain ash (''Sorbus americana''). The Monong ...

Umbilicariales
The Umbilicariales are an order of lichenized fungi in the subclass Umbilicariomycetidae, class Lecanoromycetes. It contains five families: Elixiaceae, Fuscideaceae, Ophioparmaceae, Ropalosporaceae, and Umbilicariaceae. Umbilicariales was proposed as a new order in 2007, while the subclass Umbilicariomycetidae was proposed in 2013. Families and genera , Species Fungorum accepts 5 families, 18 genera, and 107 species in the order Umbilicariales: *Elixiaceae ::'' Elixia'' – 2 spp. ::'' Meridianelia'' – 1 sp. *Fuscideaceae ::'' Albemarlea'' – 1 sp. ::''Fuscidea'' – 31 spp. ::''Hueidea'' – 1 sp. ::'' Lettauia'' – 2 sp. ::'' Maronea'' – 2 spp. ::'' Maronora'' – 1 sp. ::''Orphniospora'' – 2 spp. *Ophioparmaceae ::'' Boreoplaca'' – 1 sp. ::''Hypocenomyce'' – 5 spp. ::''Ophioparma'' – 4 spp. ::'' Rhizoplacopsis'' – 1 sp. * Ropalosporaceae ::''Ropalospora'' – 8 spp. *Umbilicariaceae ::'' Fulgidea'' – 2 spp. ::''Lasallia'' – 5 spp. ::''Umbilicaria R ...
