This landmark volume contains the most complete listing and presentation of the plant specimens collected by the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Fortunately, for many years the specimens have been in the care of major institutions, principally the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The 239 extant items are brought together in one book...
