Book Title: Memorial And Biographical History Of Northern California

BOTANY.

  Northern California produces as many interesting plants as any other section
of its size in the world. Sand and clay, rock and peat, hill and swamp, light
and shade, mountain and valley, cold and heat,—all are so varied as to favor the
highest development of a larger number of species than almost any other part of
the world of the same area. A descriptive catalogue is not called for here. In
1882 Dr. Kellogg's interesting and unique report was published by the State, and
in 1888 the State Board of Forestry, also through the State department,
published a magnificent report, prepared by those eminent botanists of Oakland,
Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Lemmon. Asa Gray and Sereno Watson, two of the most eminent
botanists of America, have published elaborate and expensive floras of California.
