Excerpt from Manual of the Botany of the Region of San Francisco Bay: Being a Systematic Arrangement of the Higher Plants Growing Spontaneously in the Counties of Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco, in the State of California In justice to the critical labor that has been bestowed on the plants of even this small area, by the author, it must be said that this Manual is one which the critical botanist will find indispensable, at least, until some worthier treatise shall take its place. On ground so new as this of the San Francisco Bay Region it still remains, and for years to come it will remain, that new convictions will be formed as to the limits of species and of genera; that every book or pamphlet of this kind the subject matter of which has been wrought out under the eye of a competent student, will present new specific and perhaps new generic propositions. This Manual will be found to contain not a few such. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
