Seller's Description:
Several Illustrators Working Under Britton/ B&W illustrations. As New. No Jacket Issued. Book CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1970 Dover 2 lb., 639 page paperback, appears to be facsimile edition of 1913 revised and enlarged edition published by Charles Scribner's. The book is in perfect conditions EXCEPT for the cover which has edge wear & a slight hinge crease (see the scans-if you can't see them, I"ll send them to you). All plants are hand drawn in B&W. CONTENT: From the cover-This monumental classic of botany remains unsurpassed as the most comprehensive and reliable work on the flora of the Northeastern United States and reliable parts of Canada. An encyclopedic collection of information, it illustrates and describes by botanists and growing wild from Virginia to the Northern reaches of Labrador, and as far West as Kansas and Manitoba. This second edition, materially revised and enlarged, covers 4666 species, identifying each species by its popular plant-names as well as by Latin nomenclature. The flora are systematically classified into two divisions or subkingdoms, Pteridophyta (ferns and fern-allies) and Spermatophyta (seed-bearing plants), and then into classes, orders, families, genera, species, and race. An eight-page analytical key helps the user locate any family of flora by its external characteristics (stamen, corolla, ovary, petals, etc.). The main body of the work is a species description (with an illustration of each species) of the flora-height, trunk diameter, coloration, leaf, flower, calyx, corolla, stamen, pistil, fruit, growth habits, fibro-vascular bundles, habitat, origin, season, and popular names. Extraordinary in their fullness and wealth of exact, specific detail, these descriptions are supplemented by a glossary of special terms, indexes of the genera in each volume, a general index of genera and species, and an English index including popular plant-names.
