Wild Flowers of Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks and Cedar Breaks National Monument
by Carl E. Jepson, Leland F. (Leland Franklin) Allen
About the author
Carl E. Jepson is credited as the co-author, with Leland F. Allen, of Wild Flowers of Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks and Cedar Breaks National Monument. The book was published by the Zion-Bryce Natural History Association and focuses on helping readers identify and appreciate the wildflowers of southern Utah's national parks and monument.
Available catalog and book records point to Jepson's work as firmly rooted in natural history and field-guide writing rather than a large mainstream literary career. That gives his surviving book a straightforward charm: it was made to be carried, consulted, and enjoyed outdoors by travelers, hikers, and nature lovers.
Reliable biographical details beyond that are limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is best to think of him as a specialist writer associated with regional nature education and botanical interpretation.
