Kraemer's Scientific and Applied Phariaacogrnosy *■ 



"Scientific and Applied Pharmacognosy" is the title of a 

 recent book by Professor Henry Kraemer, of the Philadelphia 

 College of Pharmacy. This volume might well have been given 

 the title "Systematic Plant Morphology," for between its covers 

 we find arranged according to "Die Natiirlichen Pflanzen- 

 familien" of Engler and Prantl all of the more important groups 

 of plant families with a summary of the principal outer and inner 

 morphological characteristics of each. Morphological and ana- 

 tomical descriptions of some four hundred specific food or drug 

 products are given under the proper plant families. These 

 products represent practically all of the plant families, and hence 

 the work at once becomes a valuable one on the comparative 

 anatomy of plants. This should make the book helpful to system- 

 atists as well as morphologists. Furthermore it will prove very 

 helpful to botanists who are looking for material to aid them in 

 their teaching.
