"Flowers of Mountain and Plain" by Edith S. Clements is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a field guide, primarily aimed at travelers and flower enthusiasts who seek to identify various wildflowers found in the mountainous and plains regions of the Western United States.
