Botanical Observations in Western Wyoming
Parry CC. 1874. Botanical Observations in Western Wyoming. The American Naturalist. 8(3):175-180
Third of a series of articles with appendix describing the author's botanical observations in western Wyoming; published each month from January through April of 1874. "Having been connected with the exploring expedition of Captain W. A. Jones into northwestern Wyoming during the past season (1873), the botanical results have proved of such unexpected interest, I have obtained permission for immediate publication of a brief sketch of the general botanical features of the region passed over, with notices of rare plants and descriptions of new species collected on the route." This article deals specifically with Yellowstone, and describes which species were noted in which habitats. Talks about "monotonous and disagreeable" forests of lodgepole pine.
