Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spring Flora of the Wasatch Region Of all the botanical areas in the United States, perhaps none has more sharply defined boundaries than the Great Basin. Here we have a vast interior drainage basin; lofty mountains to the east and to the west, and arid or semi-arid lands extending in nearly all directions beyond its boundaries. Some few of the plants of neighboring districts have succeeded in passing these barriers, but have gotten no further; and so here we find a meeting-place of the floras of the east, of the west, of the north and of the south. And yet this region never has had a botanical manual of its own! Those who live on its western borders have to be content with a Flora prepared for California; while those on its eastern side must be satisfied with a book taking the Continental Divide for its central point, and extending westward to the Great Basin. What wonder, then, that less than half of our species are therein included, and that consequently the teachers attempting systematic work find themselves seriously handicapped! These small manuals have been without exception unsatisfactory; as must be every small book of this character which attempts to cover a large area, especially where the area pretended to be covered consists of parts of several distinct botanical areas.
