Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
Abstract
This account is based mainly on two historical records of pioneering attempts that reached Frémont Island, i.e., Report of the Exploring Expeditions to the Rocky Mountains in the year 1842, and to Oregon and Northern California in the years 1843-‘44, by Brevet Captain J. C. Frémont of the Topographical Engineers Under the orders of Co. J. J. Abert, Chief of the Topographical Bureau. Printed by order of the Senate of the United States. Washington: Gales and Seaton Printers, 1845, and especially pages 151–159 of that report, as presented in narrative form in pages 43–47 of the John Charles …

Abstract
This is a revised version of a comprehensive treatment of the vascular flora of Utah. All new taxa and distributional records discovered since the publication of the second edition in 2003 are included.
Keys are provided to families, genera, species, and infraspecific taxa (when present). Taxa are described, ecological data is given, and geographical information is provided. County distribution in Utah is given for each species and infraspecific taxon. General geographical information is given for taxa that extend beyond the boundaries of Utah. Chromosome numbers are provided for each taxon, where that information was available in literature.

Mesa Verde Vegetal Survey, Stanley L. Welsh
Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
Abstract
This write-up is mainly concerned with plant specimens recovered and examined from major prehistoric cliff dwellings being excavated during the Wetherill Mesa Project. It also includes anecdotes from the author’s experiences in Mesa Verde. An overall summary of the species identified is presented at the end of this work, including suggestions as to how plants may have been used based on modern Native American surveys.

Botanists In The Canyonlands Of The Colorado Plateau – 1950–1983 & Prior, Stanley L. Welsh, Glen Moore
Botanists In The Canyonlands Of The Colorado Plateau – 1950–1983 & Prior, Stanley L. Welsh, Glen Moore
Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
Abstract
This paper provides an overview of botanical investigations in southeastern Utah, but is not so-restricted geographically. It grew out of the discovery of decades-old manuscripts on the flora of what became Canyonlands National Park in 1964, but from those typescript copies the coverage grew outward geographically and backward in time to the earliest inhabitants of what is today known as the Four Corners Region of the American Southwest. Reviewed is the account of utilization of the region and its natural resources by aboriginal inhabitants who were familiar with all of it. That early, and to an extent, continuous occupation …
Society Islands: Tahiti, Raiatea, Huahine, Bora Bora, Maupiti, French Polynesia, Stanley L. Welsh
Society Islands: Tahiti, Raiatea, Huahine, Bora Bora, Maupiti, French Polynesia, Stanley L. Welsh
Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
This account details five trips to the Society Islands and the plants collected there, along with the author’s personal experiences during those years. The resulting publication that aids in Society Island plant identification is Flora Societensis. Welsh and his wife became acquainted with the islands through a Tahitian girl that lived with them for a few years, and who they kept in contact with for years after. The Welshes were invited to Tahiti through these connections, and thus the following research and adventures occurred. The account includes details of island culture along with descriptions of species found there. Plant …
Hanging Gardens Of The Colorado: Jewels In The Crown—Canyonlands Versus Zion Canyon, Stanley L. Welsh
Hanging Gardens Of The Colorado: Jewels In The Crown—Canyonlands Versus Zion Canyon, Stanley L. Welsh
Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
Abstract
Descriptions and types of Utah’s hanging gardens. This work includes a comparison of hanging gardens in Canyonlands versus Zion Canyon, as well as the plant and animal assemblages found there. Five types of gardens and alcoves are defined and the different types found in both national parks are described. Maps of hanging garden locations and extensive photographs of the flora and fauna are provided.

Botanist In Death Valley, Stanley L. Welsh
Botanist In Death Valley, Stanley L. Welsh
Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
Abstract
This book details the author’s trips to Death Valley, along with general ecological information about the region. Explorations by other natural historians are also recounted. Death Valley and its surrounding mountain ranges are stark and appear to lack vegetative cover, but that appearance is deceiving. The ranges and valley support a great diversity of living things, both plants and animals. Pages 10–17 contain photographs of various landscapes. Pages 18–20 list the plant species collected in Death Valley, 1970–1983. Voucher specimens are available for study at Stanley L. Welsh Herbarium, Brigham Young University.

Journals Of Travels, Stanley L. Welsh
Journals Of Travels, Stanley L. Welsh
Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
Abstract
It is unfortunate that journals were not kept routinely for all of my [Stanley L. Welsh] expeditions that resulted in collections of plants that formed the bases for publications over the years. Only the record books and the specimens document most of the trips, and they are without detail of the events leading up to them or of those that transpired on them. The journals reproduced here show good intentions, which unfortunately were not fulfilled subsequently. The early field trips from Iowa State, accompanied by Dennis Anderson set the tone for later trips to Alaska, in 1965, 1966, 1968, …
Water In Beaver Dam Wash And Lytle Preserve, Stanley L. Welsh
Water In Beaver Dam Wash And Lytle Preserve, Stanley L. Welsh
Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
This short work is derived from a manuscript prepared for presentation in a water adjudication hearing, following a proposal to pipe water from wells in Beaver Dam Wash for transfer across state lines to be used for culinary and other purposes in Mesquite, Nevada. The Wash is estimated to yield 2000 acre feet of water annually, mostly as subsurface flow, at the Arizona line. About a third of that amount is already appropriated by users along the Wash in Utah, but there are applications pending for more than 100,000 acre feet in Utah. Thus, the Wash is already oversubscribed by …
North American Species Of Astragalus Linnaeus (Leguminosae): A Taxonomic Revision, Stanley L. Welsh
North American Species Of Astragalus Linnaeus (Leguminosae): A Taxonomic Revision, Stanley L. Welsh
Books by Faculty of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
Abstract
This summary revision of the species of Astragalus in North America, north of Mexico, was initially prepared for inclusion in the Flora North America Project. That publication has been postponed indefinitely, and this paper is being presented now to allow those students of the genus with an updated manuscript to review, and to use prior to appearance of the Flora North America treatment. It differs from the Flora North America format in having bibliographic citations to the synonyms, and the type specimens are cited. The present work treats 354 species; 198 varieties; 552 total taxa. Should the 4 7 …
