Book excerpt: Excerpt from Erythea, Vol. 8: A Journal of Botany, West American and General The earliest botanical explorers in California, beginning with Haenke and Menzies (1791 to 1794) and coming down to the time of Nuttall and Hartweg (1835 to 1845), either gave little attention to the collection of Carex or the records of their work are inadequate. The great folio work, the Reliquiae; Haenkeanae of Presl, in which Haenke's California collections were described, does not record a single species of Carex from California. The indefatigable Douglas did not neglect Carex, but so far as the California supplement is concerned the order Cyperaceae is not mentioned in Hooker and Arnott's Botany of the Beechey. Bentham's Plantae Hartwegianae records two species as collected by Hartweg in the Sacramento valley. The decades since the American occupation of California may be divided into three periods: the early or gold-discovery-period (1848 to 1874), in which the influence of the Pacific Railroad-Surveys and the California Geological Survey predominated; the middle period from 1875 to 1899, when members of the California Academy of Sciences took the lead in collecting; and the period of the botanical departments of the universities, during which time university-activities became enlarged and stabilized, that is, from 1900 to the present time. During the gold-period resident botanists entered the field, and it is due to the exertions of these early explorers, that the knowledge of California Carices began to develop. Albert Kellogg, resident in the San Francisco bay region from 1849 until his death in 1887, devoted his leisure to the study and collection of the native flora. Among numerous other genera, Carex claimed his interest, and he collected many specimens of this genus. Geo. Thurber, attached to the Mexican Boundary Survey, collected at scattered points in the state in 1851 and 1852. As botanist of the Pacific Railroad Survey under Capt. Whipple, J. M. Bigelow traveled through the San Francisco bay region and the northern Sierra Nevada in 1854. A few Carices are found in his general collection. During the four years from 1861 to 1864 W. H. Brewer, botanist of the California Geological Survey, worked throughout the state. Specimens of Carex formed a substantial part of his collections, and Carex Breweri, a characteristic High Sierran species, was named for him by Boott. In 1861 there arrived in California from Ohio the young botanist, Henry N. Bolander. Bolander was an unusual type of collector, both in method of collecting and in breadth of interests. He had a superior capacity for collecting seed-plants and at the same time was gifted with a keen eye for mosses and other cryptogams. In particular he was possessed of an unflagging interest in Graminales and was especially devoted to the sedges. While he collected widely through the state, his Carices were gathered mainly in Mendocino County, the San Francisco bay region and the central Sierra Nevada. His Carex specimens were excellent and will remain classical. The work that he did was commemorated by Olney in naming for him Carex Bolanderi, a species of the Yosemite region, where he worked so effectively. Bolander was active from the period of his arrival until about 1873, and succeeded Brewer as botanist of the California Geological Survey. Although Bolander published new species of Californian grasses, neither he nor Kellogg ventured to give names to any of their new species of Carex. In his "Catalogue of the plants growing in the vicinity of San Francisco" (1870), Bolander's special interest in Carex is, however, evident for he lists with habitat and locality thirty-five species.
