Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Botany, the Story of Plant Life
Plant life extends over almost the entire surface of the globe. If, as is highly probable, the waters of the Polar seas, under the perpetual ice-cap, have their algae, or sea-weeds, then the only places really destitute of vegetation are the crests of the highest mountains, the highest regions of glaciers and ever enduring snows.
