Excerpt from A Manual of Structural Botany: An Introductory Text-Book for Students of Science and Pharmacy
It is thus apparent that the entire field of pharmacognosy is very broad and that its complete working involves varied classes of labora tory operations. The extent and complexity of detail that have become necessary in these operations have required their consideration in separate departments of the pharmaceutical curriculum, so that such branches as physical and chemical testing and pharmaceutical assaying have been established.
The number of drugs of animal origin in general use has become so small that the study of zoology is no longer deemed essential, and it is left to botany to contribute by far the greater portion of the instruction now deemed essential as a preparation for the study of pharmacognosy. Manifestly, a knowledge of structural botany is the only scientific basis for the examination of the plant body.
