PHYTOGRAPHIC EXPRESSIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS. 



the advocacy of diminutives in these pages, the aim of a popular 

 book like the "Key" being also, to narrow down the "terminology" 

 to such a minimum, as would still be consistent with exactitude. 

 It would be a good plan, if phytographers as a whole could 

 agree to the adoption of particular universally cultivated and 

 rather unvariable garden-plants as typical, not only for degree 

 and quality of vestiture, but also as standard-examples for form 

 of leaves, colour of flowers, and other organographic definitions, 

 concerning which Botanists and Horticulturists are by no means 

 yet agreed, as proved by the vague application of even many a 

 popular word for indument. 



To sum up, then, I have placed side by side zoographic and 

 phytographic terms, which are in many instances collateral, taking 

 exceptional cases not into consideration.
