Abstract
The mountainous country west of the Pecos has always challenged botanical collectors. The floras of many ranges are still totally unknown, although the collections of the pioneer botanists who passed through the region (Wright, Nealley, Schott, Bigelow, and Havard) have given us a fairly complete knowledge of the flora of the foothills and of a few of the mountain ranges. In the early part of this century, Baker, Earle and Tracy visited the Davis Mountains. Up to the time of her death, Dr. Mary S. Young was an enthusiastic student of this flora, visiting the Davis, Guadalupe, and Chisos ranges. The fact that these mountains constitute a meeting ground between the northern outposts of the typical Mexican flora and the southern relics of a northern Rocky Mountain flora has recently interested numerous botanists in the region. We passed two months (June and July, 1931) in the region west of the Pecos, concentrating our collecting in the Davis, Chisos, and Guadalupe mountain ranges, as well as studying the flora of their foothills and the Rio Grande.
