Western spiderwort (Tradescantia occidentalis) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 12

Acknowledgements

The author would like to thank COSEWIC for funding this update status report. Also, the author would like to thank the Alberta Natural Heritage Information Center (ANHIC) for providing information as well as the W.P. Fraser Herbarium staff for access to their rare and endangered plants of Saskatchewan database. Over the years since the original COSEWIC status report several people have researched and contributed to the understanding of the status of western spiderwort in Canada. These include Sara Goulet (Honours thesis on western spiderwort, University of Manitoba), Sherry Hohn, Robert Parsons and Ken DeSmet. As well, V. and S. Hellman have consistently provided assistance to researchers at the main Routledge Sand Hills site in Manitoba. I would particularly like to thank the Hellmans for their interest and assistance over the years. Funding provided by the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada.
