432 MEMOIR OF LOUIS-CLAUDE-MARIE RICHARD. 



lated observations contained in it, requires several attentive 

 perusals, even from those individuals who are versed in the 

 study of vegetables; but these pains are well rewarded by 

 tlie correct theories, precise definitions, and philosophical 

 views which this author has here first brought to bear on 

 that most difficult portion of botany, the structure of the 

 fruit; and the work of Gsertner would be far more perfect 

 had its writer possessed the advantage of being acquainted 

 with the publication of Richard. 



There are two translations of the Analijsis of the Fruit: 

 one in German, by M. Voigt, with the notes of Richard, 

 (Leipzig, 1811.), and the other in English, by Mr Lindley, 

 (London, 1819.)

 Monocotyledones, et partlculierenient de celid des Gratni- 

 nees. (Ann.- du Mus. torn. xvii. p. 223—442, 1811.) 



This memoir, which is of the highest importance to carpo- 

 logy, contains a great number of descriptions and admirably 

 executed designs, which elucidate the structure of the Em- 

 bryo in the Grasses^ and he also adopts a new set of terms 

 for the different parts.
