What reading level is The Ethno Botany of the Coahuilla Indians of Southern California book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the most striking botanical feature of the desert is its canons of palms. The best known of these are at the southern end of Palm Valley. Here two long rocky canons are filled for miles with these beautiful trees. Many of them rise forty feet high covered with the persistent bases and sheathes of dead leaves, while at the top they are crowned with long, graceful fronds. These tops droop closely together, filling the narrow canon from side to side and affording a grateful shade. The approach... to these spots is sudden and the sight most unexpected and amazing. Such luxuriant, tropical vegetation would never be looked for in the midst of such sterile surroundings. The pools of water impounded in the bottoms of the canons explain their presence. Many strange theories have been evoked to account for the existence here of these stately trees. It has even been stated that they have sprung from seed dropped by the thoughtful Franciscan friars, who were supposed to have journeyed through here, but the plant is an indigenous one, the Washingtonia filifera, and the same species, as well as another, are to be found in the Cocopah and Sierra Madre mountains of Lower California, Guadaloupe island, and the Mexican mainland.
