An annotated catalogue of plants from Window Rock, Arizona

By Vorsila L. Bohrer. Window Rock, Ariz: Navajo Tribal Museum, 1963.

For just twenty five cents in 1963, you could buy this little book, documenting plants in Window Rock, Arizona, at the Navajo Tribal Museum. The plants listed in this catalog were collected in the area. The actual dried plant specimens now reside at the Jepson Herbarium at  the University of California, Berkeley. Each plant entry is simple, listing the scientific name, common name, and a brief description of the landscape where the plant was found. In some cases, elevation is listed as well. Window Rock (Navajo: Tségháhoodzání) is a small city that serves as the seat of government and capital of the Navajo Nation, the largest territory of a sovereign Native American nation in North America. This book is a first of a series of six publications by the Navajo Tribal Museum published in the 1960’s.
