Sinopsis

Explore how plants are built and how their parts work together to keep them alive and make more plants. This classic introduction uses familiar examples to show the difference between vegetative and reproductive organs, and explains how structure underpins plant function. By starting with the Wallflower, it guides readers from everyday observation to clear, systematic botany.


The book combines practical observation with foundational theory, helping readers understand plant anatomy, physiology, and development. It emphasizes the role of each organ and how tissues form the plant’s body, providing a solid entry point for students and curious readers alike.



  • How roots, stems, and leaves perform their roles in growth and support

  • What makes flowers and fruits important for plant reproduction

  • How anatomical terms describe plant parts and their relationships

  • Concrete examples and diagrams that connect observation to science


Ideal for readers new to botany and anyone seeking a structured, approachable path into plant biology.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Structural Botany, Vol. 1: Flowering Plants

This book is intended as a first guide to the study of the structure of plants. Botany is now taught in schools of all kinds, and wherever Botany is taught it has become customary to expect some knowledge of the construction of plants, and of the function of their organs. All that I have airned at in this book is to secure that such knowledge, when first acquired, shall be correct as far as it goes.

My purpose has been to write an Introduction to Structural Botany, not a manual of Botany in general. It is absolutely necessary that schoolboys and girls, if they are to learn this science at all, should also gain a knowledge of plants in the field. For this part of the work a guide is necessary, and some such book as Professor Oliver's Lessons in Elementary Botany is indispensable.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Structural Botany, Vol. 1: Flowering Plants

In this edition several emendations of a minor character have been made, chiefly at the suggestion of a correspondent.

A Glossary of the botanical terms used in the volume has been added. In preparing this I have frequently had occasion to consult Dr. Daydon Jackson's well-known Glossary of Botanic Terms and Glossary to Kerner and Oliver's Natural History of Plants.
