Keys to genera are provided; for all accepted taxa, descriptions including typification and distributional data, full synonymy and literature references are given.
Book Synopsis The Illustrated Handbook of the British Plants (Classic Reprint) by : Alexander Irvine
Download or read book The Illustrated Handbook of the British Plants (Classic Reprint) written by Alexander Irvine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Illustrated Handbook of the British Plants The use of the terms Arctic, Boreal, Germanic, Atlantic types, &c., was declined as inexpedient, and as more likely to puzzle and perplex the junior student than to enlighten him. This work is not meant to embrace the objects for which the Cybele was composed. It is an introduction to the knowledge of British plants, not the history of their immigration, colonization, and subsequent naturalization and complete establishment in this island. But another important con sideration remains to be urged in justification of the procedure adopted; and this should be duly weighed by all who voluntarily undertake the office of public teachers, whether from the press or platform, viz., that it is not prudent to originate more questions than they can satisfactorily answer. It is a truism that questions are more easily asked than answered and as the proverb teaches us, that a fool may ask a question which seven wise men cannot answer, it was judged desirable, in an elementary work, to avoid all such terms as might induce doubts or questionings in the minds of the readers. Moreover, a natural historian has to deal with things, and not opinions. The Author professes to state facts, and he has not yet attained to a complete conviction that the classification of the British, or of any species, into natives, denizens, or colonists, naturalized and semi-naturalized, is a fact, or is in all cases founded on facts; and therefore he leaves this matter to be settled, or modified, or adjusted by those learned authorities who have made these branches of the science their particular or special study.

Download or read book Plant Form written by Adrian D. Bell and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2008-09-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ideal reference for students of botany and horticulture, gardeners, and naturalists. The diverse external shapes and structures that make up flowering plants can be bewildering and even daunting, as can the terminology used to describe them. An understanding of plant form—plant morphology—is essential to appreciating the wonders of the plant world and to the study of botany and horticulture at every level. In this ingeniously designed volume, the complex subject becomes both accessible and manageable. The first part of the book describes and clearly illustrates the major plant structures that can be seen with the naked eye or a hand lens. The second part focuses on how plants grow: bud development, the growth of reproductive organs, leaf arrangement, branching patterns, and the accumulation and loss of structures. Aimed at students of botany and horticulture, enthusiastic gardeners, and amateur naturalists, it functions as an illustrated dictionary, a basic course in plant morphology, and an intriguing and enlightening book to dip into.
Book Synopsis Botanica North America by : Marjorie Harris
Download or read book Botanica North America written by Marjorie Harris and published by Collins Reference. This book was released on 2003-11-04 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that the smell of sassafras blowing offshore convinced Columbus he was near land? Or that the American sycamore, which has the largest tree trunk in the eastern forest, can live for 500 to 600 years? Or that in the period before the American Revolution, patriots designated a sycamore tree in each colony as a "Liberty Tree" -- a meeting place for plotting against the British? These facts are just a few of thousands you'll find inBotanica North America, an encyclopedia of the wonderfully diverse North American native plants by noted Canadian garden writer Marjorie Harris. This charming compendium is filled with more than 420 entries that provide essential information on each plant's physical attributes, natural history, common uses, and ethnobotany. There are also fascinating, often surprising anecdotes about plants you won't find anywhere else. From the Eastern forest to the desert, this beautifully written volume roves across the continent exploring how climate and plant life have affected, aided, and inspired us, from the first Native Americans to North Americans living in the twenty-first century: "The lonely majesty of a wind-swept jack pine has inspired generations of poets and painters," Harris writes. "These trees endure in spite of terrible weather . . . a jack pine forest has a dense, closed canopy with an understory of cherry, blueberry, hazels, bracken, and sweet fern along with trailing arbutus." Comprehensive and engaging, Botanica North America is also filled with lush photographs of plants in their natural habitat and insightful quotes from a variety of gardening experts and amateurs, from naturalist Rachel Carson to famed conservationist John Muir. Here is a reference no gardener or environmentalist should be without.
