PART II THE ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF SEED PLANTS Up to date our studies dealt wholly with macroscopic features of the seed plants. Now we begin to go into details carrying our investigation of living plants as far as modern instruments will permit. After learning how the plant organs are put together (Anatomy, Histology and Cytology) we shall then logically take up their various activities (Physiology). Tereafter we will study systematically the Plant Kingdom, beginning with the simplest of plants and ending with the most complex. The Microscopic Anatomy of the Plant (Histology and Cytology) You have seen that p …

St Louis University December the 27th 1836 Botanist Dear Sir. I hope you will do me the justice to believe that I have not forgotten you; my delay is owing to the multiplicity of my occupations. I have some leisure during the Christmas holidays, and it is with feelings of pleasure that I fulfill my promise of writing you a letter. I cannot help acknowledging your kind note written on your departure from our city. I return you my sincere thanks for all the attention you have paid to me. I did not receive as yet any specimens of Myrica cerifera, still I am not at a loss to account for it, for it is very probable th …

am encountering is that I have little data on his botanical collecting activities in 1912 (except for the months of Jan. and February). Maybe I lack the cards. My plan is to dig into the published revisions. It crossed my mind that the library at the Smithsonian, i.e. the botany library, may have a file on Pittier which may solve the problem. If there is material available, I may either go to Washington or hope that the stuff can be xeroxed. Things are happening at the Garden and no doubt the grape-vine has supplied data. I am much impressed by Peter Raven, If you can help me in any way I would appreciate the sam …

… physiology from Cornell University, 1952. His background of fundamental physiology, chemistry, and interest in the program are essential to its success. As yet, no permanent assistants have been approached. It is hoped, however, that an adequate salary might be made available as the research program progresses, for an assistant with at least an M. A. degree, particularly with matters of microbiological assays, as the principal investigator does not have this aspect as his primary training, although capable of instituting the program and following it through. The whole program of research has been tailored so that

… uthor has, with technical knowledge, herself examined everything available. But she has made the usefulness even greater: an enumeration, alphabetically by authors, supplements, in 156 quarto pages of fine print, a subject index, modestly designated an index, which contains the botanical and native plant names, place and personal names, and subject cue words from the various fields of botany. I believe that no user of the work will have any basis for using a sentence from the preliminary remarks: "The specialist tends rather to criticize than to praise," but rather it will be generally received with appreciation.

… . In simplest terms, the computer enables us to construct multiple card files to taxon, geography, collector, date of collections etc., or any combination of these descriptors, which may be printed out on sheets or on cards. The storage capabilities, versatility, and speed of large, modern computers are unquestioned, and the kind of information recorded for botanical specimens seems tailor-made for computer input. Why, then, have so few herbaria explored data processing as a collection management and retrieval system, and for that matter why is there in operation no computerized data bank for any major herbarium?

On May 21st December 1902 Quarry Hill Botanical Laboratory. THE QUARRY HILL BOTANICAL LABORATORY. IN 1897, Miss Ethel Sargant (O.P.), of Girton College, built a laboratory at Quarry Hill, Reigate, for botanical research. The laboratory, which is a corrugated iron building, lighted by large north windows to avoid direct sunlight, will accommodate two workers besides Miss Sargant. Miss E.N. Thomas (who discovered "double fertilisation" in the marsh marigold) has been Miss Sargant's assistant since the opening of the laboratory. She is now studying for a time at South Kensington, and her place is meanwhile taken by …

those without botanical training. It will not permit of identification of much material without flowers and must of necessity be based on the very inadequate information that exists in literature on the flora of that region. I hope it may stimulate the men to learn of their environment and to collect specimens for identification and deposit in the cases of this institution. We are seriously handicapped in our work on that area because we do not have enough material from there. It seems to me this is a rare opportunity to make contacts with those who might aid in completing our files and records. I am planning to …
