Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Structural Botany:, Flowerless Plants, Vol. 2 Owing to the immense variety of organization among the Cryptogams, it has been necessary to describe a much larger number of types in the present volume than in Part I. While it was possible to give some idea of the main outlines of structure in Flowering Plants by the full description of three representatives, it has seemed desirable to select no less than twenty-three types for the illustration of Cryptogams, and even then many important groups have been left out. The increased number of types has involved a curtness of treatment, in most cases, which only the relative simplicity of many of the forms has rendered possible. It is hoped, however, that the essential morphological points have been brought out, and that a certain continuity has been maintained throughout the book, so that the study of the selected examples may serve to give a connected idea - however elementary - of the great groups of plants. In order to afford a general view of the whole field, the concluding summary has been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
