Book Description
Excerpt from A Compendium of the English Flora A principal boject of Botany must always be to investigate the nature and qualities of plants, with a view to ascertain their various uses, and, in many cases, the best mode of cultivating them; but it has been proved that without a methodical arrangement the observations of individuals on these subjects cannot be accumulated, nor the discoveries of one age handed down to another. The ancients knew much, and wrote much, concerning vegetables; yet, from want of system, their discoveries are mostly lost, and their writings of comparatively little value. The several editions that have already been published of the "Compendium Floræ Britannicæ" and of some other manuals on the same subject, are deemed sufficient proofs of the usefulness of a brief description of our native plants, which we may carry in our hands during our excursions into the fields.

Guide to Standard Floras of the World
Author: David G. Frodin
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781139428651
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1136
Book Description
This 2001 book provides a selective annotated bibliography of the principal floras and related works of inventory for vascular plants. The second edition was completely updated and expanded to take into account the substantial literature of the late twentieth century, and features a more fully developed review of the history of floristic documentation. The works covered are principally specialist publications such as floras, checklists, distribution atlases, systematic iconographies and enumerations or catalogues, although a relatively few more popularly oriented books are also included. The Guide is organised in ten geographical divisions, with these successively divided into regions and units, each of which is prefaced with a historical review of floristic studies. In addition to the bibliography, the book includes general chapters on botanical bibliography, the history of floras, and general principles and current trends, plus an appendix on bibliographic searching, a lexicon of serial abbreviations, and author and geographical indexes.
