Gepp, of the British Museum, has read the whole of both editions in proof and part in revise; he has spared neither time nor trouble to ascertain the correctness of the derivations and accents throughout, as well as in the special branch of descriptive botany which is under his charge; Professor Hanroo, d.sc., of Cork, improved many defini tions, and Professor H. H. W. Pearson helped in the compilation of the work in many ways. To these four gentlemen I am especially indebted for their kindly undertaking a troublesome task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Plants in Their Homes: A Botanical Reader for Children The book attempts to introduce children to a wide cir cle of plants. Entire, living plants are considered, and leading facts concerning their physiology and their rela tions to their environment are pointed out. A detailed study of the structure of plant fragments is not suggested. The value of rigorous laboratory training to mature minds is undeniable, but experience seems to prove that the meth ods of a college laboratory are not suited to children. In plant study children can be led to see and seek and think for themselves, but their natural interest is in salient fea tures not in minute details, and their curiosity is concerning uses, not structure.

Download or read book Hildegard s Healing Plants written by Hildegard Von Bingen and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2002-05-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval saint, mystic, healer, and visionary-Hildegard von Bingen has made a comeback. She is now popular in natural healing circles, in medieval and women's studies, and among those interested in investing the everyday with the spiritual. Hildegard's Healing Plants is a gift version and new translation of the 'Plant' section of Physica, Hildegard's classic work on health and healing. Hildegard comments on 230 plants and grains-most of which are still grown in home gardens and sold at local health food stores. In one of many entries on women's health, Hildegard writes, 'Also if a pregnant woman labors much in childbirth, let someone cook pleasant herbs, such as fennel and assurum, in water with fear and great moderation, squeeze out the water, and place them while they are warm around her thighs and back, tied gently with a piece of cloth, so that her pain and her closed womb is opened more pleasantly and easily.' Whether read for the sheer enjoyment of Hildegard's earthy, intelligent voice ("Let a man who has an overabundance of lust in his loins cook wild lettuce in water and pour it over himself in a sauna") or for her encyclopedic and often still relevant understanding of natural health, Hildegard's Healing Plants is a treasure for gardeners, natural healing enthusiasts, and Hildegard fans everywhere. Hildegard's Healing Plants includes 230 plants and grains-most of which are still grown in home gardens and sold at local health food stores.

Book excerpt: Articles in this Classic Papers volume are rewritten, up-dated and extended versions of papers published in previous volumes of Advances in Botanical Research, chosen because of the high citation of the original papers and the increase of knowledge in the field today.Boulter and Croy discuss the structure and biosynthesis of legume seed storage proteins, an area that has been revolutionized in recent years by advances in 3-D structural analysis and methods of gene manipulation.Raven writes about the significant progress made in our understanding of the biochemistry of inorganic carbon acquisition by marine autotrophs, and places this new information in evolutionary and biogeochemical contexts. Advances in biochemistry have also made impact on research into cyanotixons. Carmichael considers the expansion of cyanotoxin research in the light of the negative impact of these toxins on water quality and aquaculture industries.The structure and regulation of algal photosystems are discussed by Larkum and Howe. They write about the diversity of algal photochemical apparatus and light-harvesting strategy, which has only been appreciated with the use of molecular genetic approaches. Finally, Kunze, Saedler and Loonig review advances in the field of plant transposable elements and the mechanism of transposition. They cover the role of transposable elements in evolution and their use as molecular tools, the importance of which has only speculated on in the original paper in 1986.

Download or read book A Dictionary of Botanical Terms Classic Reprint written by A. A. Crozier and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Botanical Terms It is now nearly twenty years since an English dictionary of botanical terms was published, and the development of botany during that time has brought into use many new terms and led to the abandonment of some of those which were formerly employed. The present work, though larger than any of its predecessors, is therefore wanting in certain terms which are found in the earlier botanical dictionaries. A few obsolete terms, however, which occur in standard botanical literature are retained and marked as such. The scope of this dictionary is nearly the same as that of its predecessors, except that it is broader on the side of agriculture and horticulture, as it aims to include all technical terms applied to plants both by botanists and others. Very many of the newer terms are from the German botanists, to whom we owe by far the greater part of modern structural and physiological botany. These terms, particularly, include an unfortunately large number of synonyms, which seem to be a necessary result of active research by independent workers in the same fields. With few exceptions, no definition is repeated, all approved synonyms being brought together under one term. Where a choice existed this has permitted the preferable term alone to be defined.

Download or read book Spicilegium Flor Maroccan Classic Reprint written by John Ball and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spicilegium Floræ Maroccanæ The earliest notice that I have found of botanical research into the Marocco Flora is in the Istoria Botanica' of Zanoni (cura tor Of the Botanic Garden at Bologna), published in 1675. He had received plants and seeds from Tangier from a Mr. Alexander Balaam, who appears to have been a merchant trading with Tangier during some part of the time when that town was held by the Portuguese and the English. The next contribution, and amore considerable one, is contained in a list published (1696) in the 19th vol. Of the Philosophical Transactions (p. 239 et seq), but drawn up in 1673 by Mr. Spotswood, a surgeon who lived there during the English occupation, and gathered plants which he gave to the same Mr. Balaam and to Dr. Morison at Oxford There is some difficulty in identifying many of the species named; and I have not thought it worth while to cite the plants contained in Mr. Spotswood's list.
