INDEX AND GLOSSARY. 



The language of the botanist comprises many words adopted, or rather 

 compounded, from Greek and Latin, which are seldom applied in their 

 strictly classical signification ; and some English terms are also employed in a 

 peculiar and technical sense. Thederivation of many of these is here given, 

 that the reader may be the better able to remember them ; but further refer- 

 ence is made to the article and page, where the fullest explanation of their 

 meaning occurs, in the body of the work.
