Excerpt from Elementary Botany
Some words of explanation may be required in reference to the definitions of flowers and fruits. In more advanced works we are told that a flower is a collection of sporophylls inserted on a simple axis. This definition seems to me imperfect. That the young carpels and stamens are homologous with leaves, and particularly with sporophylls, is proved beyond a doubt. But the mature carpel with the ripe ovules is no longer homologous with a sporophyll; it is a sporophyll containing parasitic and symbiotic gametophytes. The symbiosis of the gametophytes and the sporophylls before, during, and subsequent to fertilisation constitutes a phenomenon which is unique in the vegetable kingdom. Consequently, it appears that, when judged by the facts of the case and on historical grounds, it is at least incomplete and inexpedient to employ to the cone of Equisetum the same term as to the flower of a Buttercup. A single flower of a Buttercup is no more a mere collection of sporophylls than a frog is a fish because it passes through the tadpole stage. In reference to the definition of a fruit, I have followed that given in the "Lehrbuch der Botariik" written by Professors Strasburger, Noll, Schenck, and Schimper. The definition of a fruit is thus brought closer to the popular usage of the term, while we are extricated from any dilemma in reference to distinguishing between an inferior and a false fruit.
In conclusion, it should be stated that for the most part the illustrations have, after careful consideration, been specially executed by my friend Mr A. H. Church of Jesus College, Oxford, to whose skill and care I am much indebted. To him, also, I owe a careful revision of the proofs of this book. Further assistance in the matter of illustrations has been rendered by Mr A. Robinson of the University Museum, Oxford. Students who desire a simple introduction to the study of Microscopical Botany are recommended to procure Dr D. H. Scott's "Structural Botany"; while those who wish for a comprehensive work, dealing with the science as a whole, will find all they require in "The Student's Text-book of Botany," by Professor S. H. Vines. Finally, such students as desire to identify wild British plants, and to do field-work, will find Hayward's "Botanist's Pocket Book" an excellent little work which contains all the necessary information.
