Peter A: Thanks for the information on pollen identification, something I am investigating for my area. I was a bit surprised not to see sumac on your list of important plants, it seems to thrive in marginal, often stony locations, but checking several distribution maps I see that none of the common species are listed in Newfoundland. What about raspberry, lupins, thistles, choke and pin cherries, and maybe Japanese bamboo?
