According to my dad, a botanist who had projects all over, US Forest Service non-wilderness was the easiest to get permission (when necessary) to collect plant material, but FS Wilderness was harder than National Parks (wilderness or non-wilderness). All my recent collections have been of seed growing on or near roadsides (no restrictions). When we are working on the trails in that area, sometimes we unearth copious quantities of themids, generally they get pushed off the trail amid the dirt we are sweeping off the tread, where they grow happily the next winter...small slipouts on the very steep slopes are common. Robert in SF where it is seasonally pleasant, and the gophers decided to eat several Dierama (usually they leave Iridaceae alone)...I came home to groups of a few leaf tips poking out of the ground...they were 3 feet tall on Saturday...they also sucked down the Oxalis, Freesia, and now the groundcover is dying, so I guess they ate the roots.
