This book is designed to enable students of botany to gain some
knowledge of the relationships between families of plants. The text
of each of the 100 plant families described is in two parts. The
first part gives the general characteristics of the family,
mentions some of the principal economic and ornamental plants and
includes a section on classification. The second part describes in
detail a typical representative of the family, as far as possible a
plant which is common in the wild or in cultivation and therefore
easily obtainable. In this new edition there is a larger page-size,
and also a different layout of the text. In addition, a
considerable number of illustrations have been redrawn and many
more added, including drawings of whole plants. Alterations to the
text include extensive revision of the introduction, an increase in
the number of comparative tables, and the addition of a table of
family characters.
