NEW DESCRIPTIVE BOTANY 



For Middle California. 



By students of botany in California nothing has been 

 more earnestly desired for many years than a small 

 volume that should contain, under systematic arrange- 

 ment, names and adequate descriptions of the more 

 common trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants, whether 

 native to the country or naturalized. 



A book designed to meet this want has been in prepa- 

 ration for some time past, at the Herbarium of the State 

 University, and is now ready. Its title is 



"A Manual of the Bay-Eegion Botany." 



The volume is one of 356 octavo pages, and contains de- 

 scriptions of all the genera and species of middle western 

 California belonging to the higher orders, namely, from 

 Eanunculacese to the end of Liliacese. It is furnished 

 with analytic keys to natural orders and genera, an index 

 of the genera, and a glossary of botanical terms. The 

 price is $2.00, in neat cloth binding. Some reduction 

 may be made to those desiring a number of copies, to 

 supply classes in botany, 



A limited issue, of larger size, for libraries, profes- 

 sional botanists, and others, may be had at the same 

 price. This is in paper covers only, and does not contain 

 the glossary.
