Excerpt from The Story of Plant Life in the British Isles: Types of the Common Natural Orders
This little book is intended to give the beginner or the student of Nature Study a brief but clear insight into the characteristics of the better-known orders of British Wild Plants. As there are nearly a hundred orders, the difficulty of obtaining a knowledge of all at first is a deterrent, which can be obviated by making a study of the more widely distributed and more familiar orders.
Reference can easily be made to more comprehensive works for the purpose later of becoming acquainted with the rarer representatives of the orders. And these will also be dealt with in a forthcoming work (in two volumes) in this series to be published very shortly.
In the same way common types of each order have been chosen, so that it may be possible in any district to study the plants here described.
