Notes: The six willow are marked as such because they look exactly like willow do, but I am unconvinced that they are as it is considerably past their blooming season. 
 Pine count is for all pine types (pine, spruce, fir). 
I am willing to bet that 50% of the unknown are grasses, but in order to err on the side of unknowns, mark them as such when i cannot find the pore, even though the sculpting and protoplast look very much like that of a grass.
