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 thar 
details may be prominent.
