Author Description

Excerpt from Erythea, Vol. 8: A Journal of Botany, West American and General Much work remains to be done before there can be a full or complete understanding of the genus as developed in California. At the present time out of the 123 species recorded from the state 24 are known from but one collection and 5 more from but two collections. And in addition there is a considerable number of species recorded from adjoining states which have not yet been recorded from California. In the bibliography will be found references to the papers of authors who have given any particular attention to Carex in California and also to a few general articles of special value. The drawings are all original and were prepared under the direction of W. L. J epson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
