Download or read book A Flora of Western Middle California Classic Reprint written by Willis Linn Jepson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Flora of Western Middle California The first systematic treatise upon the plants of California was pre sented in the Botany of California, the first volume of which appeared in 1876, the second being published four years later. In these two volumes we have the first general account of the California flora. The work was based primarily upon a study of the plant collections of the California Geological Survey made by W. H. Brewer from 1860 to 1865 and later by H. N. Bolander, and also upon the rather considerable collections of the Pacific Railroad Surveys from 1851 to 1857. This material was supplemented by collections, some small, some considerable, made by resident collectors. The manuscript of the Polypetalae was produced by the combined labors of W. H. Brewer and Sereno Watson; the Gamopetalae were done by Asa Gray, while the second volume from the Apetalae to the Crypta gams was elaborated by Watson with the assistance of specialists in various groups.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from University of California Publications in Botany, 1922-1924, Vol. 10 For many years I have observed, in their native habitats, extensive beds of Fucus growing on our western Shores extending from central California to Sitka, Alaska, and have been much confused and deeply perplexed in trying to determine the best disposition to make of the multitude of forms here represented. The range for the genus extends from Oil Port, San Luis Obispo County, California, its southern limit as at present known, into the Arctic Ocean, and is practically unbroken. In the southern portion of the range the problem is comparatively simple, there being but few forms represented. The complexity increases northward, and the optimum for luxuriance in growth of numbers of forms and of individuals seems to be in the general latitude of Sitka, Alaska.

Download or read book A Flora of California written by Willis Linn Jepson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Flora of California, Vol. 2 The first publication that may in a wide and rather loose use of the term be called a "flora" of the Californian area is the "California Supplement" (1838-1841) in Hooker and Arnott's Botany of Beechey's Voyage. In this Supplement are described the collections made by David Douglas during the years 1831 and 1832 in the Coast Ranges, chiefly in the central region. About five hundred and seventy-six species of vascular plants are listed. Some of these plants were obtained by other collectors and a few were gathered far northward beyond the present boundaries of California. In so early a day, the term California, extremely indefinite, was not infrequently compelled to do duty as far as the basin of the Snake River or the snowy volcanic peaks that look northward to the gorge of the Columbia River. Several collections earlier than those of Douglas had been made in California. The La Perouse Expedition visited Monterey in 1786 but later perished in the South Seas. The botanist of the Malaspina Expedition, Thaddeus Haenke, collected around Monterey in 1791. A few of his California plants were published in Presl's Reliquiae Haenkeanae (1830-1831), but the greater part were destined to lie at Prague for many decades and over one hundred and forty years elapsed before the California collection was taken up as a whole for serious study. Archibald Menzies, botanist of Vancouver's Voyage, made at a half-dozen points along our coast line important collections at intervals from 1791 to 1795, but his plants, nearly all new, were published in a scattered manner by various authors, mostly one or two at a time, over a long period of years. The Russian Kotzebue Expedition visited San Francisco Bay in 1816 and small collections were made by the naturalists, Adelbert von Chamisso and Johann Friederich Eschscholtz. Chamisso's new California plants were not given to the botanical world separately but were published periodically in connection with various materials gathered elsewhere by the expedition. Eschscholtz is the author of a paper with the title "Descriptiones Plantarum Novae Californiae," containing twelve Californian species described as new. This is the first paper, almost exclusively Californian, to bear the word California in its title (Mem. Acad. Imp. Sci. St. Petersbourg, ser. 6, 10:281-292,-1826). After David Douglas came Thomas Nuttall in 1836, whose collections along our south coast, rich in new species discovered and described by him, were mainly published in Torrey and Gray's Flora of North America (1838-1843). The small collections of the "Sulphur" Expedition, made by Hinds and Barclay along the California coast in the autumn of 1837, were included in the general botanical report of the expedition. The various governmental Pacific Railroad Surveys brought surveying parties to the Pacific Coast from 1853 to 1855, each with its botanist or naturalist. The botanical reports in the various volumes of the Surveys were, in the absence of other literature, extremely useful to those educated men who as gold seekers from the eastern United States lived in California from the year 1848 onward. There were other expeditions by sea, many other expeditions by land (notably those of John C. Fremont), and there were numerous lone individual explorers, but from the beginning of scientific collection in 1786 no publication resulted for full ninety years that could be called a "flora" for our area, save the "California Supplement" appearing in the Botany of Beechey's Voyage.

If the publication of the volume has necessarily been delayed on this account, the superior character of the work is an ample compensation. The extent of the additions that have been made to our knowledge of the flora of the State during the past four years may be seen by reference to the many pages devoted to them. These addi tions are due to the interest and efforts of a comparatively few individuals, to whom proper acknowledgment is given in connection with Professor Brewer's account of the botanical collectors that have visited or resided in California. There still remains ample opportunity for good botanical work at almost any locality among the mountains, hills and valleys of the State, to which it is hoped that these volumes may prove both an incentive and an aid. Having thus brought to a close a work which has been far more laborious and protracted than was ever anticipated, I here return my sincere thanks to all those who have patiently waited for it, as well as to those who have in any manner assisted in its progress.

Download or read book Flora of Los Angeles and Vicinity Classic Reprint written by LeRoy Abrams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora of Los Angeles and Vicinity As a student of the flora of southern California, the author has long felt the need of some one book contain ing descriptions of the native plants. While it is essen tial that one doing critical work should laboriously search through scattered literature, the average student, and especially the novice, will find such a course impossible. In an endeavor to supply this need, the author has writ ten this book. Not that he feels that the flora is so well known that such a work will prove adequate for years to come, but rather to bring together what knowledge now exists concerning the systematic side of our most interest ing plant life. That many mistakes must unavoidably occur, and that many plants are yet to be added, is clearly apprehended. The exact area included in this volume is the coast slope of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. This terri tory comprises a large portion of the great southern California valley, as well as the following mountain ranges, in each of which is named the culminating point: Sierra Santa Monica (castro Peak 3946 Sierra San Fernando (san Fernando Peak 3793 Sierra San Gabriel (mt. Gleason 6493 ft., San Gabriel Peak 6172 ft., Mt. San Antonio 10080 Sierra Santa Ana (santiago Peak 5675 ft). A number of the more conspicuous and common plants of southern California not known to occur within our boundaries are included, however, so that the student will find that a great majority of the plants to be met with on the coast slope south of Point Conception are described.
