Followed the reference to Steyermark Woods, as his garden is now known in North Barrington, Illinois and a holding of Citizens for Conservation. Amazing intersection of careers and personalities at the Morton Arboretum that still are illumanaries in the landscape around us. Thank you.
Upon further reflection this garden was last own by Steyermark until his death in 1989 which leaves per his practice and passion a collection of plants that may be a likely treasure trove if for no other reason a living reference for the in-field student botanist.

Fascinating! Glad that you noticed that connection, and many thanks for sharing this linkage to another Chicagoland garden.
