Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdomPlantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic. This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and wat

Carruth, James Harrison, Yale graduate, taught, preached, moved in to Kansas from Massachusetts. Became increasingly interested in the flora of Kansas and cataloged 1, plants of that state. Taught botany, presented papers before the Kansas Academy of Science. In a series of brief biographies of the Yale class of , it was said of Carruth that "Except a throbbing in the head, immediately consequent upon too close application to botanical studies in , he is well, and can handle a flail, or a hoe, as well as he could fifty years ago, and can easily walk twenty miles in a day."

Biogeography
Study of distribution of species
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through geological time. Organisms and biological communities often vary in a regular fashion along geographic gradients of latitude, elevation, isolation and habitat area.[1]Phytogeography is the branch of biogeography that studies the distribution of plants. Zoogeography is the branch that studies distribution of animals. Mycogeography is the branch that studies distribution of fungi, such as mushrooms.
Knowledge of spatial variation in the numbers and types of organisms is as vital to us today as it was to our early human ancestors, as we adapt to heterogeneous but geographically predictable environments. Biogeography is an integrative field of inquiry that unites concepts and information from ecology, evolutionary biology, taxonomy, geology, physical geography, palaeontology, and climatology.[2][3]
