Synopsis

Discover how plants are built, classified, and used, in a classic, all‑in‑one reference. This volume treats plant structure, physiology, systematics, and medical botany, offering clear explanations, historical context, and practical examples that illuminate the living world of plants.

From the inner workings of cells and tissues to vast classification schemes that organized the plant kingdom, this book presents a comprehensive view of how plants grow, function, and relate to other life. It also guides readers through the practical side of botany, including the identification of major plant groups and the medicinal plants known in Europe at the time.

• Plain explanations of plant anatomy, from tissues to organs, with terms defined in accessible language.


• Stepwise descriptions of major groupings like Exogens, Endogens, Gymnogens, and Dictyogens, with representative examples.


• Historical context for the natural system of classification and its practical uses in study and medicine.


• A detailed medical botany section listing important medicinal plants and their traditional uses.

Ideal for students, teachers, and readers who want a solid, historical overview of botany and its practical applications.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Author sO utline of the First Principles of Botany, much extended and, it is hoped, improved. That work was written for the use of students, and entirely for the purpose of enabling them to fix correctly in their minds the more important points which the teacher brings before them in an academical course. When facts are mixed up with extended discussions, and rapidly adverted to, either in a lecture-room or in a written dissertation, the beginner is apt to lose sight of the exact nature of an argument, and is unable to distinguish with certainty the points upon which it is most material for him to fix his attention. That there existed a want of such a work has been sufficiently proved by the many editions the original Outline has passed through, in various European languages :indeed, while the present new edition is in the press, advice has been received of the translation of the work into Hungarian. The propositions which it contained were such as it is of the most indispensable importance for a student to understand; and were all, apparently, deducible from the evidence which had at that time been collected by Botanists. The wish of the Author was to sketch a slight but accurate outline, the details of which were to be filled up by the reader himself, who, for this purpose, was referred to the Author smore extended Introductions to Botany.
