By John Merle Coulter, Ph.D., Head of 

 Department of Botany, The University of Chicago, 

 and Charles James Chamberlain, Instructor in 

 Botany, The University of Chicago. Illustrated.

This volume has grown out of a course of lectures 

 accompanied by laboratory work, given for several 

 successive years to classes of graduate students pre- 

 paring for research. It seeks to organize the scattered 

 amount of material so that it may be available in 

 compact and related form. While careful attention 

 has been given to citations, so that the student may 

 know the groups that have been investigated and be 

 put in touch with the original papers, the work is in 

 no sense a compilation. The ground has been trav- 

 ersed repeatedly, for several years, by various 

 members of the botanical staff and by numerous 

 students, and their results have served to check cur- 

 rent statements, as well as to contribute no small 

 amount of new material. 



No attempt has been made to present the details 

 of floral structure, so fully described by the earlier 

 morphologists and taxonomists, since they are easily 

 accessible in numerous texts. It has rather been the 

 intention to present the general ideas involved in the 

 alliances of first rank, so that principles rather than 

 details may be prominent.
