NEW PLANTS FROM THE GREAT BASIN 
By AVEN NELSON AND P. B. KENNEDY 
The writers have continued, as time would permit, their 
studies of the flora of Nevada and adjacent territory. Much 
that is of interest always develops in the study of any consider- 
able collection, but this is particularly true when the collection 
comes from our vast, and, to a large extent, yet unexplored arid 
or semi-arid west. Years must probably elapse, and collection 
upon collection be amassed, before we shall be able to under- 
stand this flora that so strikingly bears the marks of its environ- 
ment. If these notes and descriptions contribute even a inite to 
its fuller understanding, the mission of this little paper will have 
been fulfilled.
