Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flowering Plants, Grasses, Sedges,& Ferns of Great Britain and Their Allies, the Club Mosses, Horsetails, Etc, Vol. 4 The popular notion of the Rush tribe connects its members with the Grasses through the Sedges. A certain superficial resemblance may justify this, but the botanical tyro who uses the pocket-lens and pulls the inflores cence carefully to pieces will soon be undeceived on that point. The flower of the Wood Rush, though minute, has all its parts corresponding closely with those of the lilies, but in the Sedges and Grasses the perianth has com pletely disappeared, and the stamens and pistils are enclosed in chaffy scales, called glumes. There are three British genera. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flowering Plants, Grasses, Sedges, and Ferns of Great Britain, and Their Allies, the Club Mosses, Pepperworts and Horsetails, Vol. 1 As one of the chief objects of this work is to aid those who have not hitherto studied Botany, some slight explanation is necessary of its mode of arrangement, and of the terms employed. English, rather than Latin, terms have in all cases been used by the writer, so as to adapt the Flora to the use of the unscientific. The method of classification is that which is termed the Natural System. The system of Linnaeus, though well suited for convenience of reference, has yielded in our day to an arrangement which is founded on the more true affinities in plants, and by which they are grouped according to their nature, structure, and properties, instead of being classed by more arbitrary signs. Various Natural Systems have been employed by botanists, but that which is now chiefly used in Britain is one adapted from those of Jussieu and Decandolle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Grasses and Their Employment in Agriculture The enormous importance of our cereal grasses is apparent to everyone, but apart altogether from these, our native grasses are worthy of our highest attention, if only on account of the large proportion of agricultural land occupied by them. Of the total area of forty-seven million acres under grass and other crops in the United Kingdom, some twenty-seven million acres are now (1917) under permanent grass. Of the remaining area about six and a half million acres are occupied by Rotation Grasses and Clovers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grasses of Britain The volume or part now published contains, on the plan followed in the Grasses of Scotland, a description of all the additional Species peculiar to England as well as to Ireland. Of a few of the Species common to Scotland and to one or both of the other great divisions of the United Kingdom, the descriptions have been repeated; and this has been done expressly as often as it appear ed that any thing had been omitted, or that any characters could be added or amended, so as to render the distinction of closely allied spe cies more easy. For example, all the Species and varieties of the genus Bromus are described in this volume, or there is a repetition of the descriptions of all the species met with in Scotland, and therefore given formerly in the Grasses of Scotland; for the species of this genus are more numerous in England than in Scotland, and every botanist will perceive at once a ready source of the improvement of former descriptions in the comparison of a greater number of species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of British Meadow and Pasture Grasses: With an Account of Their Economy and Agricultural Indication The following pages, it is hoped, may contain such information upon the useful tribe of plants to which they refer as may be of use in directing a larger share of attention to the subject of meadows. The notes herein contained are mostly the result of direct observation and attention to individual species, both in their wild state and in cultivation, to which has been added Notes upon the Agricultural qualities or indications of the species commented upon. As regards descriptions of species, it must be confessed that, after all, these can seldom be rendered quite intelligible without specimens or drawings; but as this little volume is meant principally as an indicator of the value of a study of Grasses to the Agricultural Student and the observant Farmer, it is hoped that specimens will be collected by them, and such drawings made of them when in a fresh state, as may assist in this interesting study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Grasses: An Introduction to the Study of the Gramineæ of Great Britain and Ireland OF all the plants covering our hills and valleys, Grasses are the most general and the most important. We attach great and deserved importance to utility, and seldom stint our meed of praise to beauty; yet, as we pluck up the grassy weeds in our flower-beds, or sen tence the garden walk to a covering of salt to destroy the young grass blades, how little we recognize how benefieent and lordly a family we are making war with: yet, as the term weed has been well defined as a plant growing where it is not wanted, the young grasses, so valuable in the meadows or pasture, are deserving of extermination when they intrude themselves into the parterre.
