*** Hitherto we have treated of the organisms of the Phsenogamia, or Flowering 

 Plants, the higher of the two Subkingdoms of the vegetable world. The other Subking- 

 dom, called the Cryptogamia, or Flowerless Plants, includes the lower tribes of vegeta- 

 tion, such as the Ferns, Mosses, Lichens, etc., never adorned with flowers, and producing 

 spores instead of seeds. For the Morphology of these tribes, see the Class Book of Bot- 

 any, pp. 124-129. Or study carefully the descriptions at the head of the several Crypto 

 g'aniic Orders in the present volume.
