To date, we have accomplished several objectives. First, we met with Kim Keating at Glacier National Park last October to work out specific guidelines for submission of the data on plant species that we were gathering from the literature. Although no firm format for the database was decided upon, we did decide what kinds of information to begin collecting. This information included: name, common name and taxonomic status of the species, geographic range and origin, preferred habitat, life cycle, reproduction mode, etc.
