Only those who have +sufficient interest in a plant to observe it can find its name by this +book.</p> + +<p>Furthermore, it is not a textbook. It does not attempt to convey +botanical information, but offers merely an opportunity to learn the +names of plants.</p> + +<p>Its mission is fully accomplished if, through its use, students, +vacationists, and plant-lovers in general are able to recognize by name +the plants about them.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<div> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_v" id="Page_v">[Pg v]</a></span> +</div> +<h3><a name="HOW_TO_USE_THE_BOOK" id="HOW_TO_USE_THE_BOOK"></a>HOW TO USE THE BOOK</h3> + + +<p>One recognizes a plant by the presence of structural features peculiar +to itself, and not found on any other kind of plant. In such a book as +this, these characters are given one or a few at a time, and contrasted +with the characters which other sorts of plants possess. Such a +presentation is called a Key, and by its proper use the name may be +learned of any plant considered in it. This process is called +Identification.</p> + +<p>Keys are constructed in several different ways, although the principle +of all is the same. In this book, the user will begin with lines 1a and +1b on the page headed Key to the Groups. Each of these lines includes +some descriptive matter, but only one of them can apply to the plant +being identified. For example, if the plant to be identified is an Oak, +line 1a will apply perfectly, and the same line will also apply to any +other kind of tree or to any shrub. But if the plant is a Violet, a +Buttercup, or any other herb, line 1b agrees and line 1a will not apply. +At the end of each line is a reference to be consulted next. If the +plant is a tree or shrub, one turns accordingly to Group 1, on page ix, +and begins again at the first number given. If the plant is an herb, he +follows the reference to line 2, just below, and again compares the +plants with lines 2a and 2b.</p> + +<p>Under every number at least two lines of description are given, +designated a and b, and under a few numbers additional lines appear, +designated c, d, etc. In every case, the user of the key will select +from the different lines under the same number that particular line +which agrees with the structure of the plant, and follow up the +reference given at the end of that line. Eventually one finds at the end +of a line, instead of a number, the name of a family of plants, to which +this particular plant belongs, and then turns over to the page where +this family is treated. Under each family is a similar key, to be +followed in exactly the same way, until finally one finds instead of a +number the common name and the scientific name of the plant in hand. The +process of identification is now completed, and the student has found +the name of the plant.</p> + +<p>In some cases, a reference is made in the key to a particular portion of +the family key. One then turns directly to this particular number in the +family key, and continues his identification in the usual way.</p> + +<p>As a definite example of the use of the key, suppose that one has in +hand a branch of the White Oak, and that he does not know its name. To +determine its name, he will trace it through the following steps in the +key. Under the Key to the Groups, it agrees with line 1a, which refers +to Group 1, Woody Plants. Under this group it agrees in structure with +line 1a, which refers to 2; with line 2b, referring<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vi" id="Page_vi">[Pg vi]</a></span> to 21; with line +21b, referring to 22; with 22b, referring to 29; with 29b, referring to +32; with 32c, referring to 47; with 47b, referring to 48; with 48b, +referring to 51; with 51b, referring to number 1b in the Beech Family. +Turning to the proper number in this family, the plant is referred to +line 3; it agrees with line 3c, referring to 10; with 10a, referring to +11; and with 11b, which gives the name of the plant. White Oak, <i>Quercus +alba</i>.</p> + +<p>As a second example, suppose one has a common yellow-flowered plant +blooming on lawns and roadsides in spring. Under the Key to the Groups, +it agrees with 1b, referring to 2; with 2b, referring to 3; and its +net-veined leaves place it in 3b, referring to Group 4, Dicotyledones. +Under this group, its basal leaves place it in 1b, referring to 2; its +simple leaves in 2b, referring to 18; the absence of stem-leaves places +it in 18b, referring to 23; its solitary flowers on each flower-stalk +place it in 23b, referring to 24; its yellow flowers agree with 24a, +referring to 25; and its milky juice refers the plant to number 16, in +the Composite Family. In the key to this family, its lobed leaves agree +with 16b, referring on to 17; its large flowers with 17b, giving one the +common name Dandelion, and referring on to 18 to determine which kind of +Dandelion the plant may be.</p> + +<p>At some point in the key there will be found for each plant a statement +in parentheses. This is general information concerning the height of the +plant, the color of the flowers, or the season of bloom. It must be +remembered that the height of plants is subject to great variation; that +most plants have white-flowered varieties; and that the month of bloom +depends largely on the latitude and the climate. Therefore this general +information should not be used as means of distinguishing species.</p> + +<p><b>The names of plants.</b> Each plant bears a scientific name. This is +composed of two parts and is usually of Latin or Greek derivation. In +some cases these names are taken directly from the Latin language, as +<i>Quercus</i>, the Oak, or <i>Acer</i>, the Maple. In other cases the name may +indicate some characteristic feature of the plant, as <i>Polygonum</i>, many +joints, for the Knotweed, or <i>Ammophila</i>, sand-loving, for the Beach +Grass.</p> + +<p>An English name is also given for almost every kind of plant. In a few +cases there is no accepted English name, and none has been given. In +many cases the same English name applies to several kinds of plants and +has been repeated for each. When this is so, the common name is given in +the key in parentheses before the scientific name is reached. Thus, if +one is satisfied to know merely that his plant is a dandelion, he learns +it in line 17b of the key to the Composite Family, but to discover which +kind of a dandelion he has, he must follow through the key and use the +scientific name.</p> + +<p>There is in this book, therefore, no necessity of learning or using +scientific names. The less critical may be satisfied with an English +name, and others may use the scientific names as they see fit.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vii" id="Page_vii">[Pg vii]</a></span><b>Possible Errors.</b> In using this book, care must be taken to compare all +the lines under each number with the plant, and to use judgment in +selecting the right one. While faulty observation or poor judgment may +lead to error, a mistake is usually due to carelessness in not following +correctly the reference at the end of the line chosen. If one reaches a +number in which none of the lines of description agrees with the plant, +it is very probable that he has made a mistake at an earlier stage of +the identification, and he should then begin anew.</p> + +<p>It has been the intention of the author to make the key as nearly as +possible proof against errors of judgment. For example, the Indian +Turnip may be sought under either Group 3 or Group 4; the Matrimony Vine +may be identified either as a shrub or as an herb, and numerous other +similar examples may be discovered.</p> + +<p><b>Botanical Information Needed.</b> It is presumed that those using the book +will be familiar with the parts of the flower and with the commoner +descriptive terms applied to leaves. Unusual terms have been avoided as +far as possible, but those which do occur, as well as the simpler ones, +are explained in the glossary.</p> + +<p>In general, only those characters have been used in the keys which can +be observed without a magnifying glass and without dissection of the +flower.</p> + +<p>In several groups of plants, reference is made to the fuller +descriptions to be found in the Manuals. The standard manuals for +Michigan are Gray's New Manual of Botany, 7th edition (American Book +Company, $2.50), and Britton and Brown, Illustrated Flora of the +Northern States and Canada (Chas. Scribner's Sons, $13.50). These books +may be consulted in most school or public libraries.</p> + +<p>All dimensions are expressed in the metric system. For convenience, it +may be stated that 25 millimeters (mm.) are about equal to one inch; 1 +centimeter (cm.) to two-fifths of an inch; 1 decimeter (dm.) to 4 +inches; and 1 meter (m.) is a little more than 3 feet.</p> + +<div> +<br /><br /> +</div> +<div> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[Pg viii]</a></span> +</div> + +<h3>KEY TO GROUPS</h3> + + +<table class="toc" border="1" cellspacing="5" summary="Keys to groups"> +<tr> + <td class="odd">1a.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> |
