Abstract
AT the present time there is a manifest want of an English text-book au courant with the modem state of those branches of botanical science which have to do with the minute structure, morphology, and physiology proper of plant-forms. The best that we have are often little more than introductions to the classificatory study of flowering plants. They give copious definitions and illustrations of the technical language which is needed in drawing up descriptions for the purposes of what are known as “systematic” works, but they have little to say—and that little is altogether out of date—about the important and various types which are lumped together as Cryptogams.
