With excerpts from the journals and nontechnical descriptions, "Plants of the Lewis and Clark Expedition" mixes history with botany and invites readers to see the wildflowers, shrubs, and trees as the explorers first saw them, from indigo bush in Missouri to feather boa kelp on the Pacific Coa...

There are four common and abundant outcrossing species of Clarkia that are sympatric in the Kern River Canyon in Kern County, California: C. cylindrica ssp. clavicarpa (Jeps.) Lewis & Lewis, C. speciosa ssp. polyantha Lewis & Lewis, C. unguiculata Lindl., C. xantiana ssp. xantiana A...

And to choose plants that are both beautiful and come from the dryer sections of these landscapes. At first glance it might be thought that a drought tolerant garden limits the garden to a "desert" look. But there are so many plants well adapted to our climate that almost any garden ...
The most severe mass extinction among animals took place in the latest Permian (ca. 252 million years ago). Due to scarce and impoverished fossil floras from the earliest Triassic, the common perception has been that land plants likewise suffered a mass
and a contig N50 length of 16.22 Mb. Gene co-expression network analysis uncovered that homospore development in ferns has relatively high genetic similarities with that of the pollen in seed plants. Analysing fern defence response expands understanding of evolution and diversity in endogenous ...
Over the last 470 Ma, plant evolution has seen major evolutionary transitions, such as the move from water to land and the origins of vascular tissues, seeds, and flowers [1]. These have resulted in the evolution of terrestrial flora that has shaped modern ecosystems and the diversification of...
For centuries, explorers have risked their lives venturing into the unknown for reasons that were to varying degrees economic and nationalistic. Columbus went west to look for better trade routes to the Orient and to promote the greater glory of Spain. Lewis and Clark journeyed into the American...
Northern conditions are characterised by long days with much light and low temperatures during the growing season. It has been claimed that herbs and berries grown in the north are stronger tasting compared to those of southern origin. The compounds impa
