Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cacti in New Mexico
There are two concepts more or less closely associated in the minds of a large number of people in New Mexico, both of which are in some degree inaccurate and which need correction before we can discuss the subject of this bulletin. The first is that any queer looking spiny plant found growing wild on the mesa or in the mountains is a cactus; and the second is that New Mexico is the home of the cactus. It therefore becomes necessary to state pretty definitely just what a cactus is so the reader may under stand what we are talking about in the bulletin. The correction if the other idea is easier and of less relative importance to our purpose.
