Of the more than 1000 Towering
plants to be found in the State OF
Washington, ppro>imately five per
cent are considered endemic to Wash
lngton
Not only are som" of these species
confined to Washington put many are
restricted to >c"y small part of the
state In the Olympic Peninsula there
are about twenty different kinds OF
Towering plants which occur i'll no 9th
er place. Among these are, the Piper
Bluebell, Henderson Spiraea and the
Webster Ragwort, al. named for bot
anists who have doGn great deal 10
further the work Of floral cXplora ion
in Washington State. Mount Rainier
has about half dozen plants pecu-
liar to it while the Wenatchee Nom
tain region has about twenty known
endemics and the Blue Mountains thir-
ty.
The most accepted theory regarding
the scarcity of these hlants concludes
that the endemics are old species that
formerly have a much wider range, bet
which are now scarcely able to main
lain themselves inthe face of compe'
t;tion with other species.
