Excerpt from The Flora of the Palouse Region: Containing Descriptions of All the Psermatophytes

This work is an extension of the Flora of the Palouse Region published by the authors in 1901. As enlarged, it covers all of Spokane, Whitman, Asotin, Garfield. Columbia and part of Walla Walla Counties, Washington, and the western portions of Kootenai, Latah, and Nez Perces Counties, Idaho.

This region embraces the richest wheat lands of the Northwest, the high rolling hills known locally as the Palouse country. The deep black wheat soils are mainly residual, formed by the disintegration of the Columbia basalt which covers the greater part of the region to the depth of 700 meters or more.

The extreme southern part of the area includes the northern portion of the Blue Mountains, here an upraised dome of basalt reaching an altitude of two thousand meters. Separated only by the deep canyon of Snake River are the Craig Mountains, Idaho, geologically a part of the Blue Mountain uplift.
