- Title
AMERICA'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE STORY OF THE PLANT-WORLD.
- Authors
Guppy, H. B.
- Abstract
The article discusses plant-life contributions made by the U.S. Investigations by the U.S. are expected to help appreciate the part that the most ancient of the land-surfaces may have taken either as evolutionary centers or as sanctuaries in the early history of currently dominant plants. According to the author, the chaotic condition of present knowledge of plant-distribution is becoming worse every month with the ever-increasing output of the work of the systematist. There are said to be two demands made on U.S. palaeobotanists, particularly the demand of the U.S. Geological Survey for stratigraphical results and the call of the student of the history of plant-life over the globe for the contribution of the country to the world's story.
