Excerpt from The Story of Plant Life in the British Isles, Vol. 3: Types of the Natural Orders; With an Introduction, in Which Are Embodied, General Botanical Principles
This volume concludes the series of three which has been published in order to give an idea of the natural orders of the British flora, of which there are ninety. The number of species described amounts approximately to 250, a type, or more than one type, of each order, or section of each order, being included.
In addition, the Introductions deal with the main principles of botany in brief, and illustrations have been drawn for this purpose from the plants described in the systematic portion, it being desired that the systematic study shall lead up to or be followed up by that of the general morphology, physiology, and other branches of botany. I do not think an inversion of this process is so likely to help the beginner.
The British flora in itself affords an admirable selection of plant types for study upon any lines over and above the systematic.
