This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Four Views of the Vegetation of the Coasts of the Pacific In order to obtain a correct conception of these riches, it is necessary to call to mind the spherical shape of our globe. The difi'erent climates and their transi tions will then be most evident. It is well known that their differences exercise a direct bearing on those of the vegetation; heat and moisture, the various degrees of which determine climatic difl'erences, also constituting the principal conditions of vegetable life. The greater the harmony in which these two agents act, the grander the result of their co-operation. This is the reason why the lowest lati tudes, the tropical zones, with exception of their arid deserts, exhibit the greatest force of vegetation, the finest and most diversified forms, and the largest number of species. At every marked approach towards the icy poles, and in proportion as the temperature decreases, the vegetation becomes altered, assuming more and more what has been termed a northern look, until it dwindles down to an Alpine flora, and ultimately to a mere crust of lichens covering the rocks. What a variety of features must there be ranged between this extreme and the gigantic forests of the equinoctial regions!

Book Synopsis A Popular California Flora, Or Manual of Botany for Beginners by : Volney Rattan
Download or read book A Popular California Flora, Or Manual of Botany for Beginners written by Volney Rattan and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular California Flora, or Manual of Botany for Beginners: With Illustrated Introductory Lessons, Especially Adapted to the Pacific Coast One third of the second edition was new matter, and only about half of the book in its present form is printed from the stereotype plates of the first edition. The newer half of the work, although necessarily partaking somewhat of the nature of patchwork, is as good as I can make it. My drawings upon wood have been faithfully engraved, and, though claiming no artistic merit, will, I trust, prove helpful to the learner. With few exceptions - always noted in the text - the plants, or parts of plants, are represented of the natural size. Besides the more obvious improvements, an entirely new Analytical Koy replaces the old one; and our most common oaks are described. Assuming that facts in natural history are useless if merely memorized from the book, and that the student must earn his knowledge by observing and experimenting, it is oh viously best to encourage him at first by showing him how to try simple experiments whose results are easily interpreted. Seeds are the best material for such experiments, since the phenomena connected with their germination are not only easily observed, but deeply interesting. For this reason what may seem a disproportionate space in the Intro ductory Lessons is devoted to The Beginnings of Plant Life. There are no lessons of greater educational value than those given to observing eyes by the growth of a plant from the first quickening of the dry embryo to the putting forth of owers and the ripen ing of fruit. A sunny window in each school-room should be devoted to these beautiful ob'ject lessons of nature. It must not be forgotten, however, that since most young peo ple are eager to learn the names of plants whose owers they admire, it is best to dev'ote most of the spring months to the study of Systematic Botany. The child's What is it? And the finger pointing to the plant in bloom, show plainly with what to begin the study of botany. Baron Frederick von Mueller says in his preface to an elementary work upon the botany of Victoria, Australia: An experience of nearly forty years has convinced the author that the use of a grammar-like publication for initiating into a study of plants is alike wearisome to teacher and children, and that as a rule, subject to rare exceptions, the knowledge acquired from the ordinary first elementary works on botany is as quickly lost as gained. The only method of rendering such studies agreeable and lastingly fruitful consists in arousing an interest of the young scholars in the native plants of their locality, to afiord them all possible facilities to recognize and discriminate all the various plants within reach, to lead them by observations thus started to com prehend the limits of specific forms, of generic and ordinal groups, and to conduct them afterwards to the more difficult study of special anatomy and physiology of plants.

Book Synopsis Western Flower Guide by : Charles Francis Saunders
Download or read book Western Flower Guide written by Charles Francis Saunders and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Western Flower Guide: Wild Flowers of the Rockies and West to the Pacific The preparation of a Pacific Coast Wild Flower Guide OI tne present small proportions has naturally involved a large exercise Of elimination. The flowers herein illustrated number 250, and the brief descriptions in non-technical language include besides these a few more whose resem blance to certain Of those depicted makes identification relatively easy. The selection Of the subjects has been based mainly upon the hold which such flowers have upon the popular heart on the Pacific Coast, and also to some extent by the part they have played in the human life Of the region. A few introduced plants - not uncommon in other parts Of the world, and some of them even homely - have been included in the descriptions, because their abundance, their uses, or their habits make them subjects Of interest to travelers and the general student. While the region covered in the Guide is principally the three Coast States, California, Oregon, and Washington, in many cases the plants described are also found eastward in the States from Idaho south to Arizona, and in some cases as far east as Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. Plains and valleys, seaside and mountains, as well as the Southwestern desert region (a marvellously rich floral field for a part Of the year) are represented. While this book has been prepared out Of a personal acquaintance of many years with the field, the author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to the following works upon which he has had occasion to draw for special descriptions and points - Gray' s Synoptical Flora of North America, Jepson' s Flora Of California (in course of publication), Hall's Compositae of Southern California and Yosemite Flora, Parson's Wild Flowers Of California, Armstrong's Western Wild Flowers, Meehan's Native Flowers and Ferns Of the United States, and the valuable-monographs of Chestnut, Coville, Havard, and Barrows on the Indian uses of native plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Flora of the Pacific States, Vol. 2 of 4: Washington, Oregon, and California; Polygonaceae to Krameriaceae, Buckwheats to Kramerias In the preparation of the text for this volume the author gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to the following contributors: Roxana Stinchfield Ferris, for the texts of the families Nyctaginaceae and Portulacaceae, also the genus Descurai'nia in the family Brassicaceae; Lyman Benson, for the genus Ranunculus; Rimo Baci galupi, for the Saxifragaceae and Charles Piper Smith, for the large and difficult genus Lupinus. The text of the remaining families was written by the author. In its preparation he is deeply indebted to his colleagues at the Dudley Herbarium of Stan ford University: Elmer D. Applegate has furnished many valuable specimens and field notes, especially of plants in southern Oregon. Ira L. Wiggins has been con sulted many times on perplexing taxonomic and nomenclatorial problems. Roxana S. Ferris has assisted in the selection of material for illustration, and, together with Helena Barden, has checked the bibliographical references and read the manuscripts and proofs. As in Volume I all the illustrations in this volume are original, except for those species which are illustrated in Britton and Brown's Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States and Canada. Privilege to use figures from this work was granted by the New York Botanical Garden, and is hereby acknowledged with gratitude. Many of the original figures were drawn by Jeanne Russel Janish, but Louise Nash drew the Lupines, and Helen Edwards Bacon, Alice Baldwin Addicott, and William S. Atkinson drew a number of species scattered through various plant families. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
