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.

Download or read book New Manual of Botany of the Central Rocky Mountains written by John M. Coulter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 660 pages. 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.

Download or read book Trees and Flowers of Yellowstone National Park Classic Reprint written by Frank E. A. Thone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees and Flowers of Yellowstone National Park In this book, technical terms and treatment have been avoided whenever possible. For the most part the genus is the smallest group considered, as the average visitor is not interested in fine distinctions among species; and even if he were he would get small comfort from the professional botanists, who are too often in hopeless disagreement among them selves. For those who are interested in more exact determinations, there is no substitute for the complete floras of Coulter ah-d Nelson and of Rydberg, covering the whole Rocky Mountain region. Mention must also be made of Rocky Mountain Flowers, by Clements and Clements, a work combining a high degree of scientific accuracy with adaptability for popular use, and illustrated with finely colored plates. N o artificial key has been included in this work, for it has been the writer's experience that these are rarely, if ever, used by the layman. The usual prae tice is to turn the leaves of the book until a picture is found that corresponds with the flower under ex amination. The plants are grouped according to their growth form, as trees, shrubs ah-d herbs, but beyond that they are left in approximately the same order in which their family affinities place them. This sets flowers of similar form and evolutionary history together, and has at least the virtue of being a natural arrange ment.
