160 WILD FLOWERS OF CALIFORNIA 



CALIFORNIA BOTANICAL 

 SOCIETY 



The purpose of the Society is 

 to promote investigation of the 

 life history, habits, classification 

 and floristic distribution of Cali- 

 fornian and other plants. 



It plans to diffuse knowledge 

 concerning them in a way calcu- 

 lated to develop and strengthen 

 interest in botanical science in 

 California. The Society holds 

 meetings for lectures and dis- 

 cussions, arranges field meetings 

 and indoor demonstrations, 

 makes collections and publishes 

 a journal. It takes an active 

 interest in the conservation of 

 the native life of California and 

 co-operates with other organiza- 

 tions in preventing threatened 

 destruction of remarkable indi- 

 vidual plants or plant societies 

 in California.
