Excerpt from The Development, Structure, and Affinities of the Genus EquisetumIn his presidential address before the botanical section' of the British association for the advancement of science, at the meeting of 1896, Dr. D. H. Scott (p. 2) makes the following remarks The embryological method has so far rec'eived scant justice from botanists. The cases which have been investigated perhaps excessive attention has been given to the first division of the ovum, the importance of which, as Sachs sh'owed long ago, has been overrated, While the later stages when the differentiation of organs and tissues is actually in progress have been comparatively neglected.Convinced of the truth of this statement, the writer has devoted considerable atten tion to the study of the development of the young sporophyte, in all the various groups of vascular plants and his investigations have led to conclusions, which seem to have a not unimportant bearing on certain problems of the morphology and phylogeny of the phanerogams and vascular cryptogams.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
