About This Book

The work introduces botanical principles and laboratory practice for secondary and introductory college students, beginning with cells and tissues, then surveying plant groups from algae, fungi, and lower cryptogams through ferns to seed plants. It emphasizes structural anatomy as the basis for classification, supplements gross morphology for readers without microscopes, and sets microscopic details apart for advanced study. Practical guidance on collecting, preserving, and examining specimens is paired with illustrated descriptions of common representative forms. Coverage combines systematic treatment— including flower structure and fertilization—with step‑by‑step histological methods for fixing, staining, and mounting preparations.
