Woody plants of the Hampshire College campus

Process
As you collect samples of trees and shrubs, add a new entry if it has not been added before. Each new entry is the Common name, Genus and species, date collected and your ID, all under the correct family name.

If your collection is not a new one, that's ok, just add an entry with the date and your ID below the name. Perhaps add a picture with more detail, or a different part of the plant. We will get a rough sense of how common a tree or shrub might be, or how noticeable.

Include a notion of the kind of evidence for your sample's identification: picture(s), pressed leaves, etc.

Finally, include some indication of where you found your sample, either descriptive, or perhaps GPS coordinates.

add your name to this list, then put initials after the name as your ID
