Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analytical Key to Some of the Common Flowering Plants of the Rocky Mountain Region There are approximately 3,000 species of indigenous flowering plants in that portion of the United States known as the Rocky Mountain region. Many of these by reason of their abundance, attractiveness, and conspicuous characters afford material both suitable and available for use in the introductory courses in botany in high schools and colleges. In spite of the fact that botany to-day must take cognizance of several new phases of the subject, it must still be admitted that a certain amount of work in systematic botany offers a point of contact with Nature that is of inestimable value. But justice to the co-ordinate and equally important divisions of the subject requires that systematic botany should take no more than a co-ordinate place. For various reasons it has been found inexpedient in many instances to attempt the use of the standard manuals. It is hoped that this brief synoptical Key may meet the needs of such courses, and that the beginner, discovering for himself the names of a few of the common plants of his neighborhood, may develop an interest in his flora that will later make him, in some cases, a critical student of it. This booklet is not offered as a substitute for a manual of the region, but rather, as an introduction, which will prepare the student for the better use of a manual. It seems best, therefore, to include only the commoner species, and especially those that blossom during the spring and early summer.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plants of Rocky Mountain National Park The wild flowers of Rocky Mountain National Park are one of its main attractions. They paint its fields, meadows, hillsides, and rocky gorges in all the colors of the rainbow. There has been a con stant demand for an illustrated guide to these flowers, and this publica tion has been prepared in response to that demand. It is the result of several years' study of the plants of the region. Emphasis has been put on the outstanding field characters of the plants described and on their habitats. Keys for identification and an illustrated glossary are included. The chapter on Mountain Plants at Home deals with the relations between the plants and their severe mountain environ ment and their adaptations to that environment. The keys have been made as practical and simple as possible. They have been previously published, tested, and revised, and the writer feels that they will be useful to all persons who are seriously interested in the identification of our common wild flowers, whether or not they have had training in botany. In order to keep the keys from being long and unwieldy, some of the inconspicuous plants are not included. However, the names of all seed plants and ferns known to grow in the park are given in the text. Technical terms have been avoided as much as possible, but because it is impossible to differentiate between related plants by using only every-day English, a few technical terms have been employed to assure accuracy. These are adequately explained by drawings and definitions in the glossary. Approximately 700 species are included. Specimens of most of these have been collected by the writer and are in the herbarium of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Most of the collecting has been done on the eastern side of the Continental Divide, and it is probable that some plants not included herein will be found on the western slope. A thorough study of the grass and sedge families has not been attempted, but lists of those species known to occur have been in cluded. The region that has been intensively studied is that of the Rocky Mountain National Park and the territory surrounding Estes Park, but this book will be found useful above feet throughout the mountains of northern Colorado and southern Wyoming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Manual of Botany of the Central Rocky Mountains: Vascular Plants IN 1885 the Manual of the Botany of the Rocky Mountain Region was published. It was based upon general explorations of the region concerned, and was confessedly tentative. During the last twenty-four years, general explorations of the vascular flora have merged into more or less intensive studies, and the manual long ago became inadequate. It was the original purpose to revise it as frequently as new material justified, but the author's time and attention became absorbed in other kinds of botanical work, so that no revision has appeared. As the book continued to be in demand, it seemed necessary, in justice to its users, to bring it up to date. This work has been undertaken by Professor Aven Nelson of the University of Wyoming (laramie), whose great familiarity with the flora of the Rocky Mountain region suggested his fitness for the task.

This work has been undertaken by Professor Aven Nelson of the University of Wyoming (Laramie), whose great familiarity with the flora of the Rocky Mountain region suggested his fitness for the task. Professor Nelson has completely rewritten the book, and in such a way that it is as far from being a compilation as so general a manual can be. He has checked up the descriptions by an examination of the plants and by his extensive field experience. Descriptions and keys have been tested repeatedly, and are believed to be workable. The manual is intended to represent current knowledge in reference to the flora for the benefit of the ordinary user of a manual. The professional taxonomist will not find in it all of the subdivisions of genera and species that he might wish, but it is thought that this will make it more serviceable to the general user, and that it presents an adequate account of the flora from the more conservative viewpoint. The sequence of families is that known as Engler's, which is in general use by botanists; and the nomenclature, so far as practicable, is that adopted by the Vienna Congress. Names following the descriptions, but without citation or parenthesis, are those of the old manual, which have been changed. Names with citation and parenthesis represent what are regarded as synonyms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
