Microscope Slides of Vegetable Material' for Use in Determinative 

 "Work. By John S. Wright. 



In the determination of plants it is freijuently necessary, or at least desirable, 

 to make examinations of various organs with the aid of a lens. Seed markings, 

 glandular structures and many portions of the flower upon which determinations 

 are partly Ijased may be so minute as to necessitate slight magnification for satis- 

 factory work. For example we have in the Euphorbias and Lobelias many species 

 in which the seeds are to the naked eye mere granules, but under a hand lens 

 their surfaces are seen to be decidedly marked with irregular ridges and pits, or 

 are handsomely sculptured. Many leaves contain glandular structures, or are 

 covered with hairs or scales which can be best seen under the lens. In determin- 

 ing specimens on which such structures exist and are of value in classification, it 

 is often desirable to compare them with like material from well determined her- 

 barium specimens. Commonly the material for these comparisons is dug out of 

 or cut off the herbarium specimen as it is needed from time to time and placed
