Synopsis
Excerpt from Botany
It would be out of place in a talk like this to devote too much time to a consideration of the historical side of the sub J ect, and therefore only a few of the important move ments can be pointed out. Any folk which had so far emerged from the stage of savagery as to step to notice the world about it would perforce pay some attention to plants. A discrimination of the medicinal uses of plants is often noticeable even in primitive peoples, and with such observation goes also the discrimination of difference in form, the prototype of morphological research. I have seen a Malay coolie who could distinguish seven forms of tropical oaks where the botanist recognizes only four, an evidence that sharp observation is not confined to the highly developed races.
