Book Description

Excerpt from Glossary of Botanical Terms Commonly Used in Range Research It is obvious that such a reference list as this can lay exceedingly scant, if any, claim to originality but is essentially a compilation; moreover, in view of the circumstances and the nature of these terms, it seems neither necessary nor desirable to attempt to cite authorities consulted; such authorities would be very numerous and, save per haps in a very few cases, could hardly be claimed as original sources of terminology. The argot of the botanical sciences is so voluminous that no effort has been made to incorporate herein more than what appears to be a fair' share of the terminology in most common use.
