Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Plant Life in the British Isles: Types of the Common Natural Orders Uring the last decade much headway has been made with the study of plants in their natural surroundings or their habitat. And a new science, ecology, has arisen, which bids fair to revivify the old systematic botany, which had fallen into such dis repute, by allying itself with that branch of botany and raising the study of plants from the systematic standpoint to a higher level. Considering the centuries that have been devoted to systematic botany or the study of the Characters of plants and their relationship to each other, it is indeed to us, in these enlightened days, marvellous that the life of the plant, which includes a study of its habitat, its manner of association and relation ship to the character of the surroundings, had not been considered at all in detail until quite recently. But it is now recognised that the physical surround ings play a great part in the shaping of species, apart from their diversity and the fact that these diversi ties are correlated with plant distribution and plant variation. If, indeed, we can determine the requisite surround ings of a plant we can more surely discover it. And as a great part of geographical botany is concerned with the discovery of the exact distribution of plants, it is highly valuable from this point of view alone. But this is not all, for we learn from the Character of the surroundings its requirements as regards light, heat, moisture, altitude, soil, etc., and the manner in which the plant occurs, either in small communities, large ones or otherwise, helps us to obtain a much broader and more intelligent view of the vegetation of a district, or its physiognomy on a large scale, which in turn reveals to us the bases of scenery and land scape. So that here the painter or the poet may join in the study of botany from a really vital stand point. In general plants are most largely affected by three factors, though there are others which are connected directly or indirectly with these three main factors.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.
