Desmids of the United States and List of American Pediastrums is a book written by Francis Wolle in 1884. It is a comprehensive guide to the microscopic organisms called desmids and pediastrums found in the United States. The book contains detailed descriptions of over 300 species of desmids and 50 species of pediastrums, along with illustrations and information about their habitats and characteristics. Wolle's work was groundbreaking in its time, as it provided a systematic approach to the study of these organisms, which were previously poorly understood. The book is still considered an important reference for those interested in the study of desmids and pediastrums.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
