Synopsis

Explore how plants are built and how their parts work together to keep them alive and make more plants. This classic introduction uses familiar examples to show the difference between vegetative and reproductive organs, and explains how structure underpins plant function. By starting with the Wallflower, it guides readers from everyday observation to clear, systematic botany.

The book combines practical observation with foundational theory, helping readers understand plant anatomy, physiology, and development. It emphasizes the role of each organ and how tissues form the plant’s body, providing a solid entry point for students and curious readers alike.

• How roots, stems, and leaves perform their roles in growth and support


• What makes flowers and fruits important for plant reproduction


• How anatomical terms describe plant parts and their relationships


• Concrete examples and diagrams that connect observation to science

Ideal for readers new to botany and anyone seeking a structured, approachable path into plant biology.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Botany is now taught in schools of all kinds, and wherever Botany is taught it has become customary to expect some knowledge of the construction of plants, and of the function of their organs. All that I have aimed at in this book is to secure that such knowledge, when first acquired, shall be correct as far as it goes. My purpose has been to write an Introduction to Structural Botany, not a manual of Botany in general. It is absolutely necessary that schoolboys and girls, if they are to learn this science at all, should also gain a knowledge of plants in the field. For this part of the work a guide is necessary, and some such book asP rofessor Oliver sL essons in Elementary Botany is indispensable. The type-system has been adopted, as far as practicable, because it seems better to gain as thorough a knowledge as possible of a few plants, rather than to acquire mere scraps of information about a larger number.
