BOTANY. 



Material and apparatus. Freshly collected plants, or if these cannot be 

 had, plants preserved in 2% formalin, or in alcohol, may be used. Some 

 plants dry are often useful if they are not to be had in any other condition. 



Plants with the cups and gemmae; male plants; and female plants. 



For the study of the fruit bodies plants must be had either fresh (but this is 

 quite impossible since they ripen in June and July) or better, plants with ripe 

 fruit bodies may be preserved in 2% formalin. 



For the demonstration of the sexual organs, and of the spores and elaters, 

 the teacher may make sections, or purchase sections of supply companies. 

 Hand lenses, or simple dissecting microscopes. 



Microscope, etc., for demonstrations 35 and 36.
