This text-book is too well known to need detailed description. The present 



edition, which has been revised from the 14th German Edition, is in the main 



similar to the 4th Edition published in 1912. In the section on Morphology 



we note a very inadequate attempt to deal with the relation of the plant to 



its habitat, otherwise ecology is practically ignored. There is also a meagre 



treatment of genetics. 



In a work which has so many admirable features it is to be regretted that 

 the fundamental changes necessary to bring that text into line with modem 

 requirements have not been undertaken.
