Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mingan Archipelago lies off the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, north of Anticosti Island in the vicinity of Havre St-Pierre. This book begins with a description of the geography, climate, and geology of the Archipelago, the five categories of rare plants later described, their habitat setting, and the origins of the plants, mainly with respect to the last ice age. This is followed by illustrated descriptions of rare plants in the following categories: endemic plants confined to the Gulf area; species from the west (Cordilleran plants); Arctic or Arctic-alpine species; Quebec boreal species; and species at the northern limit of their range. Information provided for each plant includes common English and French name, Latin name and family, origin of Latin name, plant description and habitat, and geographic range.
Download or read book Flora s Fieldworkers written by Ann Shteir and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Catharine Parr Traill came to Upper Canada in 1832 as a settler from England, she brought along with her ties to British botanical culture. Nonetheless, when she arrived she encountered a new natural landscape and, like other women chronicled in this book, set out to advance the botanical knowledge of the time from the Canadian field. Flora’s Fieldworkers employs biography, botanical data, herbaria specimens, archival sources, letters, institutional records, book history, and abundant artwork to reconstruct the ways in which women studied and understood plants in the nineteenth century. It features figures ranging from elite women involved in imperial botanical projects in British North America to settler-colonial women in Ontario and Australia – most of whom were scarcely visible in the historical record – who were active in “plant work” as collectors, writers, artists, craft workers, teachers, and organizers. Understood as an appropriate pastime for genteel ladies, botany offered women pathways to scientific education, financial autonomy, and self-expression. The call for more diverse voices in the present must look to the past as well. Bringing botany to historians and historians to botany, Flora’s Fieldworkers gathers compelling material about women in colonial and imperial Canada and Australia to take a new look at how we came to know what we know about plants.
