PHYTOGRAFHY. 
BOOK ir. 
Among works in which fewer details are introduced, espe- 
cial mention must be made of the drawings of Palms, and 
the figures that illustrate Von Martius's Nova Genera et 
Species Plantarum ; Turpin*s plates in Humboldt and Kunth's 
Nova Genera Plantarum, and Delessert's Icones Plantarum; 
and some excellent analyses of the parts of fructification of 
Rhamneae and Bruniaceae, in his memoirs upon those orders, 
by Adolphe Brongniart. 
Almost every scientific work of reputation of the present 
day contains figures which are formed upon the models of those 
now enumerated ; from which they differ in the quantity of 
analysis that is introduced, a circumstance generally regulated 
by the price at which they are published. 
Of anatomical plates, the best are those of Kieser, in his 
Memoire sur F Organisation des Plantes ; of Mirbel, in his 
Memoire sur I'Ovule; of Francis Bauer, in his dissections of 
Orchideous plants; of Adolphe Brongniart, in his various 
papers in the volumes of the Annales des Sciences, and espe- 
cially of Mohl, in his illustrations of the anatomy of Palms 
and Tree ferns. 
I have mentioned these as instances of good drawings, 
because they are easily accessible, and incontestably are well 
adapted to improving the taste and execution of a student ; 
but there are very many other modern works, in which the 
figures may be also studied with great advantage. Whatever 
bears the name of Francis or Ferdinand Bauer, Hooker, 
Greville, Mirbel, Poiteau fils, Redoute, Reichenbach, L. C. 
Richard, Sowerby, Sturm, Mohl, or Turpin, may almost 
always be profitably studied.
