322 CONCLUSION. 



acknowledge the great assistance we have derived 

 from the elaborate drawings and descriptions of the 

 stems of dicotyledonous plants, by M.Mirbel ; to those 

 in Dr. A. T. Thomson's Botanical Lectures ; and par- 

 ticularly to the elegant delineations of W. W. Capper, 

 Esq., of Bath, in his lately published descriptions of 

 the Anatomy of the Vine, as corroborative of many 

 of our previously formed notions on the subject.
