Excerpt from The Trees of Texas: An Illustrated Manual of the Native and Introduced Trees of the StateThe present bulletin has been prepared to, meet the needs of those persons who desire to become more familiar with our nativ and introduced trees, but Who do not have access to the more cornplete sets of books which treat this subject. It has been my constant aim to avoid the use of technical terms, and only such have been introduced as can be easily learned from the glossary by the amateur student of nature Who has had no previous train ing in botany. The scientific name and the common names most generally iri use have both been given for each species. Th keys for the separation of families, genera, and species are based in so far: as is possible, on the leaf characteristics. This is neces sary for the reason that the leaves remain on the tree throughout the summer, While the ¿owers so'on fall away. We should not be deceived, however, into thinking that leaf oharacteristics de note natural relationship to the same degree as the characteris tics of the ¿ower. It has sometimes been necessary to make use of other characteristics of the tree, such as the fruit, bark, or thorns in order to separate closely related genera or species.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
