Abstract

In popularly written botanical handbooks the Hepaticae are
usually not described, the authors chiefly confining their
attention to plants of larger growth. The phanerogamous
plants receive full notice ; the Ferns and Lycopods may also be
described ; but here the line is usually drawn. The Mosses,
Hepaticae, Lichens, and Fungi are dismissed with some such
remark as that they are distributed throughout the world,
and are of no economical importance ; or that they form
beautiful transition from low to high organisation, and that
they are evascular.
Includes extensive illustrative figures
