Mention should, however, be made of Edith May Farr (1864-1956) of Philadelphia, who published on the plants of southern British Columbia and Alberta from 1904 to 1906, including a list of the plants of the Selkirk Range and the southern Canadian Rockies based on her collections (Farr 1907). Arnica louiseana Farr, a distinctive species with nodding flower-heads, named for Lake Louise, Alberta, was described in one of these papers (Farr 1906) and remains generally accepted as a species.
