EXPLANATION OF TABLE. 



IN the analysis of flowering plants, on the opposite page, the 

 first division, it will be seen, is into Angiosperms (plants with 

 seeds formed in an ovary) and Gymnosperms (naked-seeded 

 plants, see page 164). 



The Angiosperms are again separated into Dicotyledons and 

 Monocotyledons, and these groups are divided and redivided by 

 characters with which the use of the Flower Schedule has made 

 you familiar. 



The last groups reached in this analysis are used to divide the 

 orders into sections ; so that, by finding the section to which a 

 plant belongs, you at once limit the number of groups with which 

 it must be compared in determining the order to which it belongs.
