| The
University of North Carolina Herbarium has approximately 90 herbarium
specimens collected by Joseph Rohrer. As our collection coninues
to be databased, more of his specimens will be catalogued.
Most specimens collected by Rohrer in NCU’s collection date
from the 1970’s when he was a graduate student at the University
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Rohrer published the results of
this research in 1983 (Castanea 48: 189-205, "Vegetation
pattern and rock type in the flora of the Hanging Rock area, North
Carolina"). The bryophytes that he collected in that area
(published in Rohrer, J.R. 1982. Bryophytes of Hanging Rock, Avery
and Watauga Counties, North Carolina. Castanea 47: 221-229) were
deposited at MICH.
Dr. Rohrer is currently professor of Biology at the University
of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. He is doing taxonomic treatments for
Geum and Prunus (Rosaceae) for the Flora of
North America. Two on-going projects are inventories of the bryophytes
and vascular plants of Putnam Park and Eau Claire County.
