Excerpt from A Manual of Botany for Indian Forest Students He should for example possess a good knowledge of the charac ters most commonly employed in plant descriptions and thus be able to identify plants from their written descriptions and to use a Flora with advantage. He should also have an eye for those characters of bark, habit, etc., which enable one to recog nise on sight different species in the forest at different times of year. Such characters are dealt with in Part I of the Manual. Those for whom this book is primarily intended have very little time for microscopic work both during their course of training and thereafter. Anatomy therefore is very briefly dealt with in Part I I and only so far as has been considered necessary for a fairly clear idea of the main facts of Physiology and Pathology as given in Parts I I I and V.
