Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Botanical Survey of the Galapagos Islands Unfortunately many of the former collectors of plants remained but a short time upon the islands, and as most of them were not botanists, our knowledge of the general botanical conditions has remained rather meager. It was the intention at first to incorporate the entire botani cal results of the expedition in a single paper, but as the present paper has assumed greater proportions than was expected, it seems best to divide the subject and publish the parts separately. The present paper consists of a rather detailed account of the different species of vascular plants, including their range in elevation and their distribution on the different islands; a brief description of the different botani cal regions; an account of the general features of the flora; an account of the factors governing the growth Of vegetation; and an account, so far as possible, of the evidence Offered by the collection concerning the origin of the islands and of the flora. A second paper will deal entirely with a description of the botanical conditions on each island of the group, and short papers will treat of the lichens and mosses.
