Synopsis
Discover how plants are built, classified, and used, in a classic, all‑in‑one reference. This volume treats plant structure, physiology, systematics, and medical botany, offering clear explanations, historical context, and practical examples that illuminate the living world of plants.
From the inner workings of cells and tissues to vast classification schemes that organized the plant kingdom, this book presents a comprehensive view of how plants grow, function, and relate to other life. It also guides readers through the practical side of botany, including the identification of major plant groups and the medicinal plants known in Europe at the time.
- Plain explanations of plant anatomy, from tissues to organs, with terms defined in accessible language.
- Stepwise descriptions of major groupings like Exogens, Endogens, Gymnogens, and Dictyogens, with representative examples.
- Historical context for the natural system of classification and its practical uses in study and medicine.

Ideal for students, teachers, and readers who want a solid, historical overview of botany and its practical applications.

Book Description
John Lindley published this 1841 work, the fourth edition of his Outline of the First Principles of Botany, under a new title to emphasise not only that it was considerably extended, but also that it was an illustrated textbook for students of 'structural, physiological, systematical, and medical' botany.

Elements of Botany: Structural, Physiological, Systematical, and Medical
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, originally written in 1841, is a detailed exploration of the structural, physiological, systematical, and medical aspects of botany. It was the fourth edition of the author's earlier work, revised to include distinguished botanist Robert Brown's newly developed plant classification system. The author's goal was to provide students and laypeople alike with an accessible guide to the study of plants, with the central idea being that one cannot understand how plants function without a deep comprehension of their structural composition. The book discusses various elements of plant life, including cellular tissue, woody tissue, vascular tissue, and laticiferous tissue, then examines how these elements combine to form more complex structures like the root, stem, leaf, and flower. Covering a wide range of topics, from the decomposition of carbonic acid to the irritant response of stamens, this book was an essential reference for botanists of its time and remains an informative text for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of plant biology and taxonomy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330067031_0
