Synopsis
Excerpt from Botany, Vol. 2
The present volume completes the Botany of California so far as it can- be at this time satisfactorily done. An attempt was made to add the, remaining Cellular Acrogens (the Hepaticæ and Characeæ), but scarcely any material has been collected in these orders excepting that which was distributed by Mr. Henry N. Bolander nearly fifteen years ago, much of which is now scattered and not accessible. The services of the late Mr. Coe F. Austin were secured for the Hepaticae, but the manuscript as left by him 11 proved to be too incomplete to allow of its publication. In the present trausi Ytional and somewhat chaotic state of the orders of Thallogens it was found jinadvisable, not to say impossible, to furnish generic and specific descriptions of Californian forms in anticipation of the results of the general revisions which these orders are now undergoing at the hands of competent specialists. Simple lists of such reputed genera and species as have been collected in California were prepared, of the Lichenes by the kindness of Prof. Edward Tuckerman, of the Algae by Prof. W. G. Farlow, and of the Fungi by Dr. H. W. Harkness and Mr. J. P. Moore. It was seen, however, that these would add materially to the bulk of an already sufficiently large volume, as well as delay its publication; and inasmuch as they would be of no use to the many and could be of little good to any, they have been wholly omitted. The list of Fungi has been published in the Proceedings of the California Academy, where it is readily accessible.
Several of the more important and difficult orders and genera in this volume have been furnished by specialists of the highest authority in their several departments. Dr. George Engelmann has elaborated the Oaks, the Pines and their allies, and the Loranthaceae. M. S. Bebb, Esq, has done the same for the Willows.
