Présentation de l'éditeur

The present translation of Dr. E. Warming sH aandbog i denS ystematiske Botanik is taken from the text of the 3rd Danish Edition (1892), and from Dr. Knoblauch sG erman Edition (1890), and the book has been further enriched by numerous additional notes which have been kindly sent to me by the author. Dr. Warming swork has long been recognised as an original and important contribution to Systematic Botanical Literature, and I have only to regret that the pressure of other scientific duties has delayed its presentation toE nglish readers. Dr. Warming desires me to record his high appreciation of the careful translation of Dr. Knoblauch, and his obligation to him for a number of corrections and improvements of which he has made use in the 3rd Danish Edition. In a few instances I have made slight additions to the text; these, however, appear as footnotes, or are enclosed in square brackets. In the present Edition the Thallophytes have been revised and rearranged.from notes supplied to me by Dr. Knoblauch, to whom I am indebted for the Classification of the Fungi, according to the more recent investigations of Brefeld. The Bacteria have been revised by Dr. Migula, the Floride rearranged afterS chmitz, and the Taphrinacese afterS adebeck. The main body of the text of the A lgse andF ungi remains as it was originally written by Dr. Wille and Dr. Rostrup in theD anish Edition, though in many places considerable alterations and additions have been made. For the sake of comparison a tabular key to the Classification adopted in theD anish Edition is given in the A ppendix. In the Angiosperms I have retained the sequence of orders in theD anish original, and have not rearranged them according to .w.
