Excerpt from Botany: Developmental and Descriptive

The study of botany has a distinct cultural as well as a scientific and practical value, and therefore, the author of a text-book of botany should aim to interest students in plants. Without such interest a large part of the time spent in the study of botany is wasted.

The two phases of botany which will interest the average student are developmental and descriptive botany. The developmental part can be fully illustrated in the laboratory and the descriptive part in both field and laboratory.

Students who show a special inclination for studying any given group should have their interest stimulated further by the study of additional forms.
