Lecturer : Miss Eva Whitley, B.Sc. 



Stage I. (Covering the London Matriculation Syllabus) 



Elementary. — ^The study of the typical flowering plant ; 

 the form and function of the plant organs and the variations 

 which adapt them to special conditions ; the inflorescence ; 

 the pollination and fertilisation of flowers, fruits and seeds ; 

 germination ; the nutrition, respiration and growth of 

 plants ; the movements exhibited by plants ; the out- 

 lines of the cellular structure of plants ; elements of plant 

 classification, with special reference to some of the more 

 important British natural orders. 



Stage II. (Covering the Inter-Science Syllabus) 



Advanced. — More advanced work in the subjects taken 

 in the elementary course. Study of typical members of 

 the larger sub-divisions of the plant world (pinus, picra, 

 selaginella, aspidium, funaria, pellia, fucus, spirogyra, 

 haematococcus, agaricus, eurotium, puccinia, parmelia, 

 collema, pythium, mucor, saccharomyces), and of 

 additional natural orders to those taken in Stage I. ; 

 plant oecology. 



In the practical class specimens are examined and 

 described, microscopic preparations made, and a few of 

 the simpler experiments illustrative of physiological 

 processes are carried out. 



Two or three museum visits are arranged during the 

 session. These classes should prove useful and interest- 

 ing to those engaged in horticulture and the allied 

 callings.
