Abstract

For several years, there has been an intensified interest and activity in floristic studies of various areas in New Mexico, especially of certain well-isolated mountain masses characteristic of many mountainous areas in New Mexico. Many of these mountain masses are, in effect, islands of Montane Biota separated from other islands by lower and drier mesa and valley barriers. Botanists realize a need to investigate thoroughly the floras of these areas with one another to reveal possible modifications in flora composition or species differences that may have arisen as a result of geographic isolation and subsequent changes in gene frequencies.
