Principles Of Botany, As Exemplified In The Cryptogamia by Harland Coultas is a nineteenth?century primer that explains how plants grow, reproduce, and evolve by tracing the life of the plant from the cellular level upward. The book begins with the cellular tissue and then develops woody and vascular tissues, showing how growth derives from the formation of new cells and how various tissues arise as modifications of the primitive cell. It surveys the major groups of flowerless plants — algae, lichens, mosses, liverworts, ferns, and club-mosses — and explains how they differ in organization, reproduction, and lifecycle, using plain language and illustrations rather than heavy terminology. The Introduction argues that botany is essential to education and emphasizes the unity of life, noting that plants supply minerals and support animal life. It also situates development within a broader natural philosophy of law and Providence, and concludes with a view toward the higher flowering plants, urging careful study of simple forms to understand complex vegetation. It is a foundational, accessible survey of plant structure and life.
