A TABLE OF THE CRYPTOGAMIA, OR 
FLOWERLESS PLANTS. 
It may be objected that in the foregoing pages there is no 
systematic treatment of the various groups of flowerless 
plants. This is intentional. We have briefly alluded to 
all the orders of cryptogams, but have entirely ignored 
the position of these orders in scientific classification. For 
instance, we have grouped together what are popularly 
known under the general term of Mosses, although some 
are widely separated from the others in classification. | Our 
reason for doing so is the fact that this book is intended 
for the non-scientific reader. For the benefit of those 
who wish to ascertain the proper relation of these orders 
to each other, we append a table of the classification of 
these plants.
