It is my pleasant duty to introduce to the agricultural public the work of M. P. de Sornay on the tropical Leguminosæ.
M. de Sornay, originally a student at the Agricultural Station, has for the past nine years been attached to the staff as Assistant Director.
The family of the Leguminosæ contains a large number of species whose practical applications, chiefly in warm climates, are of great interest, and M. de Sornay's treatise on them is the best proof of the extent of his knowledge and his zeal.
We cannot but be indebted to the author for having put together such a mass of information in so concise and instructive a form. Besides a description of the characters and practical uses of tropical Leguminosæ, the reader will find a study of the peculiar agricultural properties of this family, which forms a special class of its own in the vegetable kingdom.
Clear and simple in plan, and unencumbered by useless comments, it contains a scholarly account of the subject tempered by the sound judgment of the writer. His personal contribution is of the greatest value.
This contribution consists of numerous analyses of plants, an account of the observations on the cultivation of each, the advantages to be derived from them, and their manifold uses in industry and agriculture. Once read the work cannot fail to be appreciated.
There is no doubt as to the future success of this book of M. de Sornay, and I am happy to have this opportunity of offering him my congratulations and of assuring him of my esteem.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the symbiotic relationship between the tropical Leguminosae family and nitrogen-xing bacteria, which allows the plants to thrive in nitrogen-poor soils. The author provides a detailed account of the historical and scientic discoveries that led to the understanding of this process, tracing the theories and research from early observations to the groundbreaking work of Hellriegel and Wilfarth. The book delves into the nature and formation of root nodules in Leguminosae, examining their role in nitrogen assimilation and plant growth. It discusses the practical applications of this knowledge in agriculture, including the use of Leguminosae as cover crops and their potential for increasing soil fertility. The author presents a comprehensive overview of the topic, offering valuable insights into the complex biological processes that underpin the Leguminosae's unique ability to x atmospheric nitrogen. This book serves as an essential resource for agriculturalists, botanists, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of plant-microbe interactions.
