A- SYNOPSIS OF THE PLANT KINGDOM 



diagrams'are Idealized' cross-sections of the flower, and show particularly the number of parts in each floral set and 

 their exact position, both of which are very frequently of diagnostic importance. The illustrations have been 

 prepared by F. Schuyler Mathews under the direction of the writer. They were in part drawn from life, and 

 in part adapted from standard texts. The most frequent sources are Baillon, "Natural History of Plants": 

 Engler and Prantl, "Die Natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien;" Strasburger, Noll, Schenk and Karsten, ''Text-Book of 

 Botany": Warming, "Systematic Botany."
