PREFACE. 

A VARIETY of methods have been adopted by authors 

for the arrangement of plants, in order that the knowledge 

mankind possesses of them may be more readily communi- 

cated to students in botany. The ancient authors consi- 

dered only the uses of plants, and arranged them accord- 

ingly into timber or fruit trees, corn, pulse, culinary and 

medicinal plants, those used for dyeing, for garlands, for 

spinning or other mechanical purposes, and the like; while, 

as a kind of supplementary knowledge, those whose pro- 

perties rendered them deleterious to man himself or to the 

animals bred or domesticated by him were considered under 

the title of poisons; and those which impeded the growth 

of the plants cultivated by him were arranged under the 

general name of weeds ; while the great mass of vegetables, 

to which neither usefulness nor harm could be attributed, 

were slighted, and indeed entirely neglected, unless any of 

them presented a phenomenon that struck forcibly on the 

attention, as the apparently sensitive property of the mimosa, 

or the water-dropping faculty of the nepenthes distillatoria. 

Succeeding authors have been more philosophically inclined, 

and have wished to bestow an equal degree of attention 

upon all the productions of the Almighty Creator, to the 

end that those now esteemed as useless may be pointed out 

for future investigation. The botanists of this school have 

given us general or local catalogues of plants, arranged 

either in the alphabetic order of their names, or according 

to the periodical time of their flowering, or partly from the 

whole period of their growth in the open air and partly 

from the contrivances they require to produce an artificial

yi PREFACE. 

temperature similar to that of their native climates. None 

of these arrangements, however, afford any means by which 

a student, in possession of a plant unknown to him, can 

discover its situation in the catalogue : and, of course, he 

is necessitated to have recourse for this purpose to the 

instruction of a living master, who may not always be at 

hand. 

With the view, therefore, of enabling a solitary student 

to refer an unknown plant to its congeners, Lobel discarded 

every other consideration than the structure of plants, par- 

ticularly of their flowers, that being the period when they 

principally attract our attention. On this foundation, he 

investigated the natural affinities of plants to each other, 

and arranged those known to him in between forty and 

fift}'^ families, beginning with the grasses ; and gave a list 

of those beionorinCT to each familv, but without determining 

any common character by which the plants of each family 

may be known; leaving this decision, in respect to the 

plants not noticed by him, to the intelligence and acumen 

of the student. Csesalpinus, Ray, Tournefort, Hermann, 

Boerhaave, and other authors, who were trained in the 

schools of logic and of the mathematics, have endeavoured 

to supply this deficiency, and to exhibit the marks or 

characters by which the several natural families may be 

recognized, and have further attempted to arrange these 

families in a regular series, so that the student, instead of 

relying upon his own conceptions of the affinity of a plant 

with those known to him, may, from a consideration of its 

structure when in a perfect state, refer it to its proper 

family, and ascertain its name if already known, or have, 

in the other case, a well grounded assurance that it has not 

hitherto been described or named by authors. 

The first scientific botanists, in consequence of their 

attempts to employ none but very obvious characters, could 

only attain their end by using a multiplicity of them, and 

this necessitated an intricate arrangfement. Succecdinij- 

authors attempted simpler methods, by choosing a few par-

PREFACE. Vll 

ticular organs, common to the greater part of plants ; and 

collecting together, in classes and subdivisions, the several 

plants which agreed in respect to the structure or number 

of these chosen organs, vidthout any regard to the affinity a 

more accurate observation of the whole structure of the 

plant might develope. Of these mere artificial methods, 

as they are termed, Rivinus, professor at Leipzig, was the 

introducer, and he took his primary divisions from the 

regularity or irregularity of the corolla, or what is commonly 

called the bloom, and the number of parts into 

which it is cut, and subdivided each of these primary 

divisions in a uniform manner, according to the nature of 

the fruit. In this system he was followed by Hebenstreit, 

Knaut, Ludwig, and Ruppius. The botanists of this school 

considered the method of Rivinus in its proper light, as 

being merely a ready means of determining the family, or 

what is now called the genus, to which any plant belongs 

and, therefore, contented themselves with following it up 

to that point, leaving the further knowledge of plants to be 

sought for in the authors who have arranged their works 

by the natural affinities of plants, or other considerations. 

The want of the power of locomotion, by which plants 

are most evidently distinguished from the generality of 

animals, and the consequent inability of approaching 

each other, if the organs of reproduction were seated in 

distinct individuals and the analogy of animal generation 

strictly observed, while, at the same time, they are, from 

the same immobility, liable to a variety of accidents, which 

animals elude by the power of changing their place, 

rendered necessary the adoption of peculiar contrivances 

to preserve and multiply the species in which some analogy 

may be observed with those of animals, more apparent 

however than real. 

The prurient mind of Linnseus, so visibly exhibited in 

his mode of describing bivalve shells, was struck by the 

great difference between animals and vegetables in this 

respect; and he immediately applied himself to arrange 

;

Vlll 

PREFACE. 

plants by those organs that appear to be analogous in their 

functions to the sexual organs of animals. Assuming the 

flowering of plants to be what he poetically terms their 

nuptials, he likened each separate flower to a bridal cham- 

ber, and formed his primary divisions from the number of 

the male organs present in each flower, and his subdivisions 

were formed from the number of the female organs which 

were also present in the same chamber: the Omniscient 

Creator having lessened the chances of failure arising from 

the immobility of plants b}' multiplying the points of union, 

and increasing the number of the organs, especially of the 

male. As Linnseus considered not only the number of 

these organs, but in many cases their situation, connection, 

and proportion, he has departed from the simplicity which 

ought to form the basis of an artificial system and was so 

strictly observed by Rivinus, and has rendered his system 

as intricate as some of those who endeavoured to place 

kindred plants together. His successor in the chair at 

Upsal, Thunberg, has therefore endeavoured to simplify 

his method, but with considerable opposition. While 

Ludwig, in the second edition of his Genera, and Hill, 

along with the primary divisions of Rivinus taken from the 

corolla employed those of Linnaeus for their subdivisions, 

but have not met with any followers. 

The novelty of the Linnaean method, the distinction of 

the species being always taken from the variations to be 

observed in the plant itself, together with the industry of 

Linnseus and his followers in extending his catalogue, and 

forming, as it were, a new science, that of the nomenclature 

of plants, instead of the old botany, which, as we have said, 

principally devoted itself to the uses of plants, all contributed 

to give an eclat to his system, and to extend its influence 

beyond its proper limits. So that instead of being taught 

to use this method only as a finder, or as an index to the 

authors who wrote on the natural history of plants, the 

student was led to believe that this was the only arrangement 

that ough£ to be adopted in all works that treat of

PREFACE. IX 

plants : and there have not been wanting authors who have 

even written works upon gardening, or the materia medica, 

arranged on the Linnasan system.* This undue extension 

of the sexual method is contrary even to the declared 

opinion of Linnseus himself, who expressly says, he con- 

sidered it only as a temporary substitute until the natural 

method, or that which considers the mutual affinities of 

plants, be so far improved as to admit of a clue being ap- 

plied to it, by which the student may investigate the place 

of a plant in the method without any other help. 

* Thus the LinEEean botanists committed the same error as the gram- 

marians and the philologers have frequently done in the composition of 

diction.iries, vocabularies, and etymologicons, from not considering the 

different uses of the various methods. Some interpreting dictionaries are 

arranged by roots, as those of Scapula, Mair, Salmon, and for most of the 

Oriental languages, to the great hindrance of the young student} while, 

on the other hand, Gesner, Johnson, the Delia Crusca, and the French 

Academy, have given us critical dictionaries, in the alphabetical order of 

the words, and have thus deprived themselves of the great help they might 

have deduced from the method of the roots, or the vocabulary form. 

If these authors had reflected upon the subject, instead of blindly follow- 

ing the track of some preceding author, who had perhaps a different object 

in view, they would certainly have discovered that, for interpreting an 

unknown language into a known, the alphabetic order either of the initial 

or terminal letters was indeed the most proper, because the letters of the 

word arc, by hypothesis, the only guide. Whether the initial letters, as 

used in most cases, or the terminal, as adopted in the Coptic dictionaries, 

be the most proper, may admit of some dispute, the latter has the advantage 

of exhibiting the sense attached to the various terminations more clearly 

than the former. When the words of a known language are used to find 

the corresponding words in one that is unknown, the vocabulary form has 

the advantage of bringing together all those words that would denote nearly 

similar ideas. Whether this form, or tiie alphabetic order be adopted, this 

is the proper part of a double interpreting dictionary, to produce examples 

from the classic writers in the less known tongue, as authority for tlie use 

of those words; and not, as was absurdly done by Ainsworth, in the 

unknown—known part, since, in reading a foreign work, the context 

will enable the reader to choose the proper signification if the word be 

ambiguous; whereas, in writing a foreign language, we have occasion for 

examples to guide us in our choice of nearly synonymous words. The 

utility of the method of roots, for a critical dictionary, and the difficulty of 

using one on this plan for interpretation, is surely self-evident.

X 

TREFACE. 

Linnseus, considering only the external appearance of 

the flower and fruit, despaired of finding this clue; but the 

favourers of the older arrangements have bestowed so much 

attention in examining the internal organization of plants, 

particularly of the fruit and seed, and various organs, which 

were neglected by the Linnsean nomenclators, that this 

desirable point is now attained. The present work exhibits 

the results of the latest investigations into the mutual 

affinities of plants; and the synopsis of the subdivisions 

attached to the several divisions furnishes a clue which will 

enable a student to trace the connexion of the several parts, 

and their dependence upon each other. When the author 

considered the great pains which had been taken with many 

of the families, and especially with those, which, from their 

not plainly exhibiting the sexual organs, were huddled 

together by Linnaeus in his twenty-fourth class, which 

contains probably far more plants than all his other 

twenty-three classes put together; and that there had not 

yet appeared in this country any detailed account of these 

researches, he was led to engage in preparing this system 

for the use of the English students of this delightful species 

of knowledge. 

An essential difference exists between the mere deter- 

mination of the name of plants, and the study of their 

affinities to each other. The nomenclature of plants re- 

tjuires the study of so many only of their organs, and such 

a slight consideration of these as may suffice to determine 

the difference that may exist betwixt any two plants that 

might otherwise be confounded. The scientific study of 

their affinities requires, on the contrary, the whole of their 

organization to be kept in view, and the changes it may 

undergo during their natural life ; hence there arises a 

necessity for a more accurate discrimination of the various 

forms of their organs than is required for the nomenclature 

only. The botanists of the natural school have, therefore, 

been led to invent a far greater number of terms than were 

introduced into use when Linneeus wrote hi& Philosophia

PllEFACE. XI 

Botanica. Whatever opinion may be entertained of the 

necessity of increasing the number of substantives to denote 

the several organs, and their principal variations, instead 

of using the old substantives with the addition of appropriate 

adjectives to limit their signification, yet as these new sub- 

stantives are used by the greatest part of modern authors, 

and have not yet been explained in our language, there 

appeared a necessity of prefixing an introduction to botany, 

principally for the purpose of giving a connected view of 

the anatomy of vegetables, according to the latest views of 

Mirbel, De Candolle, and other eminent botanists. The 

figures annexed to this part of the work have been very 

carefully selected, with a view of comprising as much 

information as possible in a small compass. 

In consequence of the addition of this introduction, this 

work contains all that is necessary for the student of English 

botany, unless he is desirous of verifying his first steps in 

the science by a reference to the figures of plants. The 

very high price of Sowerby's English Botany, which is 

seldom to be procured for less than fifty guineas, rendering 

it inaccessible to the generality of students, it has been 

judged preferable to refer to Gerarde's Herbal as edited 

by Johnson, and the Theatre of Parkinson, either of which 

may be purchased at a very moderate price; and their 

figures, although only wood cuts, will give a good idea of 

the plants. Some may prefer the figures of those parts 

only which characterize the genera, and of these the 

cheapest is Tournefort's Institutiones Rei herbarise, whose 

genera in general correspond with those of Ray. But 

these helps desert the student when he attempts the study 

of the plants which were called by the ancient botanists, 

on account of their not bearing flowers, imperfect plants 

and by Linnaeus, because he could not detect in them the 

presence of the sexual organs, which his preconceived 

opinion required to be present in all plants, cryptogamia, 

that is to say, secret marriages. Should the student en- 

deavour to penetrate this, the higher botany, and wish for 

;

Xii 

PREFACE. 

the help of figures, he will require either the Historia 

Muscorum of Dillenius, the Hydrophyta Danica of Lyng- 

bye, the System der Pilze und Schwamm of Esenbeck, or 

Sowerby's English Fuugi, according to his peculiar views. 

With the view of assisting those students who have been 

accustomed to use the Linnaean mode of investigating plants, 

there is prefixed to the second volume, which contains the 

perfect, or phenogamous, plants, an analytical guide to the 

families, according to the number of the sexual organs. 

It remains then only to say a few words respecting the 

index. In general, the Latin generic names only have 

been quoted, but when a genus contains a great number of 

species, as agaricus, lichen, conferva, rosa, jmicus, and some 

others, the trivial names are referred to, or the second word 

of the specific difference, if the plant had no name given to 

it by the old botanists. In a few cases, when the second 

word was an adjective, agreeing not with the genei'ic name, 

but with a following substantive, this adjective is omitted, 

and the governing substantive inserted, as bryum perangustis 

crebrioribus foliis, &c. of Dillenius in Raii Synopsis, is 

referred to in the index under Bryum foliis. 

As to English names, a considerable number of new ones 

have, for the sake of system, been given to the genera of 

plants; in forming the majority of which, the form and 

fashion of our ancient names have been as closely adhered 

to as was possible ; but, in some instances, Anglicized Latin 

names are used : these, however, ought to be regarded as 

only temporary. In regard to the manner in which compound 

English names are inserted in an index, a considerable 

diffei'ence is observable in authors. Some few insert them 

as they are spoken, as plough mans' spike nard under P, 

evening prim rose under E. Other authors seem to consider 

spike nard and prim rose as generic names, and place them 

under S and P. Some carelessly insert them without any- 

regular rule, so that a person is frequently obliged to search 

for all the words of which a name is composed before he 

finds the reference. To avoid ihis, a general rule has been

laid down, and they are inserted under their last word, 

even when the composition is not apparent at first sight, 

as tur-nep, the nep which is round as if turned in a lathe, 

so pars-nep, that which from its size requires to be chopped 

or divided into parts to fit it for eating, as schoolboys are 

said to parse their lessons, when they divide them gram- 

matically. Pars-ley is, by an error only referred to under 

ley. It signifies an herb to be chopped, alluding to its use 

in sauces and stuffing. The ley being only another spell- 

ing of lea, grass, as in the song 

— 

Over the water and over the lea 

but, in parsley, is used for herb, as Virgil, on the contrary, 

uses herba for grass : 

— 

In molli consedimus herba. Buc. 3, 55, 

An index of the authors mentioned in the Introduction, 

and a very copious index of the botanical terms, are sub- 

joined to the first volume. It was at first intended to omit 

the references to those terms which are self-evident to an 

English reader, but, upon considering that foreigners might 

have occasion to ascertain their meaning, they have been 

inserted, omitting however those English terms which vary 

but slightly in their termination from the corresponding 

Latin terms. 

I have now to return my thanks for the kind assistance 

1 have received, and particularly to A. B. Lambert, R.A. 

Salisbury, and A. H. Haworth, Esqrs. Messrs. E. and J. 

Bennett, and Mr. Deer. The death of Sir Joseph Banks, 

during the printing, has, to my great regret, prevented me 

from a similar acknowledgement, as a slight return for 

the many advantages I have received from the use of his 

Library and Herbarium : and has also been a cause of great 

delay, in being obliged to wait the arrival of another copy 

of Esenbeck's work from German}^, that tiiose interesting 

plants the fungi might be arranged according to the latest 

improvements.

INTRODUCTION 

TO 

BOTANY. 

I. On the Use of Botany. 

X HE use and pleasure of studying botany have been so" 

long acknowledged, that it may seem perfectly superfluous 

to discourse upon that subject ; but a slight sketch of the 

use and pleasure accruing by this study is here given, in 

order to convince those students, who have not yet reflected 

upon the subject, that in bestowing their time, their labour, 

or their money, upon the acquirement of this science, they 

will not court an ungrateful mistress, but one who will 

amply reward them for the pains they take in acquiring 

her. 

The greater part of those who study botany, are personsof 

the medical profession, and of course the use of botany 

in medicine is the first to be considered. It will therefore 

be necessary, before any further progress is made, to advert 

to the great difference between practising in large cities 

and sea-port towns on the one hand, and in country villages 

on the other. To the former merchants resort, and 

the warehouses are filled with the choicest drugs of foreign 

regions ; the poverty induced by the vicissitudes of commerce 

requires alleviation from the charity ot the rich, hos- 

pitals and dispensaries arise, and become medical schools. 

The time of the practitioners being fully occupied by the 

denseness of the population, they find it more convenient 

to use the drugs in the warehouses, than to collect themselves 

the indigenous productions of the surrounding country 

; hence they regard with indifference whether the drug 

be native or foreign, and this indifference, or rather preference 

for foreign drugs, passes of course into the pharmacopoeias 

published in those cities. 

VOL. I, B

2 IMTRODUCTION TO BOTANY. 

But these commercial ideas have less force in the country. 

There the practitioner has more time on his hands ; in his 

rounds to visit his patients, he can collect the herbs pro- 

fusely scattered in his path, and although his education at 

the hospitals in town naturally influences him in his choice, 

yet if prudence has any share in his character, he must be 

struck with the impropriety of neglecting the resources 

freely offered by nature to his possession for purchased ones. 

It is a favourite axiom with botanical physicians that where 

nature produces diseases, there she also produces the remedies 

for them, and they adduce in proof of this dogma, the 

growth of scurvy grass, and other antiscorbutic plants in 

those cold climates where scurvy reigns as an epidemic ; of 

pepper and other spices in hot countries where the stomach 

is liable to torpor, and requires an extraordinary stimulus to 

promote its healthy action ; as also of calamus aromaticus 

in those humid situations which are liable to intermittent 

fevers; and of sarsaparilla and guiacum in the regions, supposed 

to be the native seats of the venereal lues, and where, 

according to a Spanish traveller, d'Aranda, in his account 

of South America, it is a sporadic disease. Without absolutely 

professing a dogma, which has much appearance of 

truth in it, there can be no doubt but that the remedies necessary 

for most of the diseases that afflict human nature 

may be found at the country practitioner's own door, or 

very near at hand. That he may be enabled however to 

make use of them, it is necessary he should know them well, 

the more especially as many plants are so much alike, that 

it requires attention directed to proper characteristics to 

distinguish them. Now botany is that science which enables 

us to distinguish plants from one another, to assign to them 

their proper names, and to declare their several uses; 

without which last part, although too often neglected by 

the general botanist, it would be a barren study. 

Another part of medicine, in which the use of botany 

is evident, too frequently happens, in consequence of the 

similitude of plants to one another, so that those ignorant 

of the means of distinguishing them are led to use a plant 

of such powerful action on the human frame as to kill, or 

very violently affect, the unfortunate person who has mistaken 

it for some nutriraental vegetable, especially foreign- 

ers, who use a greater variety of vegetables than ourselves. 

Yet even among us, the instances are not rare in which 

hemlock has been mistaken for parsley, the roots of wild

INTRODUCTION TO BOTANY. 3 

cicely, or cow-weed, for parsneps, dog's mercury for a 

spinage-herb, the berries of nightshade for esculent ones, 

and more especially the deleterious mushrooms for those 

that are eatable with some deg?fee of safety, for, in truth, 

all are to be held as of doubtful salubrity. Now the skilful 

botanist, who can determine from the remains of what has 

been taken the cause of the symptoms, has an evident advantage 

in respect to the mode of treating his patient, over 

one who is ignorant of the cause, and must therefore prescribe 

at random. And if the practitioner can thus save 

one fellow-creature from the grave, and restore him to his 

friends, far more a dear relative, a cherished companion, 

this alone would amply repay him for the study of this 

science. And it is on this account, that the Society of 

Apothecaries of London, to whom the legislation have 

lately committed the examination of persons intending to 

practise as apothecaries, have given public notice, that they 

expect the applicants for a license to be competent in medical 

botany. 

As to the economical or general use of botany, although 

it be of course more varied than the medical, less need be 

said about it. Our houses are principally built and furnished 

from the vegetable kingdom of nature; and this is 

also the case with ships and other vessels : plants furnish 

us with a very considerable part of our clothing; thia 

clothing, and the ornamental drapery of our houses, is 

dyed of various colours by different vegetables. Hence 

the study of that science which exhibits these various uses 

cannot but be instructive to all. 

The diet of mankind is, in the warmer regions of the 

earth, almost entirely vegetable; as the climate becomes 

colder, more and more animal food is taken, until in the 

cold regions of the North, man becomes nearly a carnivorous 

animal. But vegetables are never entirely disused 

by him ; hence a knowledge of them is of universal use, 

nid'e especially ,to travellers, who may thus instruct a whole 

nation in the use of plants abundantly produced in their 

country, yet either disregarded by them, or even considered 

as deleterious, although in fact one of the agreeable 

luxuries of the table: nor is this an idle supposition. The 

embassy sent from Bengal to Thibet observed in their route 

the strawberry growing plentifully in the woods ; on desiring 

their conductors to gather some, they were informed 

that it was a poisonous berry : this naturally enough produced 

some hesitation, lest they might be deceived by a 

B 2

4 JtNTHODUCTION TO HOTANY. 

mere resemblance of that delicious fruit ; but, upon investigation 

of tiie botanical characters of the flower, its identity 

was confirmed, and the natives were highly pleased to have 

their supposed poisonous J»erry shown to be one of the 

most pleasant and wholesome fruits. 

But the most striking use of botany is when famine is 

apprehended ; for although direct experiments may enable 

a person to discover what plants are wholesome and nu- 

tritive from those which are not, yet these experiments require 

time when none, particularly in cases of shipwreck, 

can be spared, and from the greater number of poisonous, 

or, at least, medicinal plants of very violent operation, the 

experiments would, if not guided by botanical analogies, 

be highly dangerous, and inevitably fatal in many cases. 

But by knowing the botanical characters of those families 

of plants which abound in edible fruits, or are remarkable 

for any other dietetic articles, considerable advantages will 

be gained, and unknown articles may be freely used with 

little apprehension of danger. This is a species of knowledge 

less cultivated in the British islands than it ought to 

be, especially considering the maritime situation which 

leads so many of their inhabitants to embrace a seafaring 

life, and become exposed to the dangers of shipwreck upon 

uninhabited coasts ; and where the dauntless energetic 

spirit of our youth impels so many to engage in distant 

expeditions, and the unfortunate issue of some of these 

expeditions, for what mortal can always command success, 

plunges them into distressful circumstances in a foreign and 

perhaps inhospitable country. 

Another use, if I may so express myself, is the contemplation 

of the beauties of nature ; and in this respect 

botany yields to no other branch of human knowledge, 

and in one respect surpasses most in that, while wealth 

may exhibit its splendour in collecting living plants, yet 

the study is also compatible with the most humble fortunes, 

and may be'made to beguile the tedious hours of convalescence, 

while it need not confine the sufferer to his room, 

but will even entice him forth to breathe the dewy incense 

of the morn. Few are the studies that require so little 

apparatus, or less trouble to produce a collection, which 

will lie in a small compass, and will aiford an agreeable 

exhibition to friends and visitors.

INTRODUCTION TO BOTANY. 

2. The Rise and Progress of Botany, part'tcularly iw England. 

The modern botanists, who, are overwhelmed with the 

continually increasing number of new plants offered to their 

view, and the necessity of learning the ever-varying nomenclature, 

are accused, perhaps with some justice, of 

paying less attention to the uses of plants than they ought 

and, on the other hand, the ancients seem to have had no 

other idea of botany than as being the knowledge of the 

grains, pulse, potherbs, &c. of use in domestic economy, 

or of those plants which chance, or experiments made in 

the great hierarchal colleges of Persia or Egypt, had shown 

to be of use in the cure of the sick and hurt; for it appears 

by the Greek authors, whose writings have survived 

the barbarism which took place in Europe on the subversion 

of the Western Empire by the northern nations, 

that it was the intention of the early Greek writers, in their 

botanical works, rather to relate the uses or culture of 

plants, than to describe them so that posterity might be 

enabled to recognize them whenever they were met with. 

Hippocrates the Coan, the venerable father of medicine, 

the lineal descendant of that Esculapius whom the gratitude 

of mankind had raised to divine honours, is the oldest 

author we possess, being born about four hundred and fifty 

years before Christ. Those who are versed in the history 

of medicine, well know the valuable use he made of the 

cases recorded in the temples of his ancestor, which were 

the public hospitals of antiquity, especially in respect to 

the prognosis of diseases. He has mentioned, in his theiapeutic 

writings, the uses of about two hundred and forty 

plants; and he would have merited still more the thanks 

of mankind, if he had carefully described them, so that 

we might be certain of the species of plants which he intended 

by those names,—This task he seems to have left 

to Cratevas, of whose knowledge in botany he makes the 

most honourable mention. The loss of the works of Cratevas 

is much to be deplored, as they probably contained 

the description, or at least place of growth, of the plants 

mentioned by Hippocrates. 

The expansion of the human intellect which took place 

in consequence of the freedom of opinion that was allowed 

in Athens, under the mild but firm government of Pisis- 

tratus, by which the factious demagogues and the priest 

©f that city were restrained from persecuting every man 

;

6 


whose abilities were superior to their own, caused that city 

to become the focus of literature and science; and the 

writings produced in that short space of time still remain 

the noblest monuments of the powers of the human mind, 

for they have commanded the admiration of succeeding 

ages, and left nothing for future writers to do but to imi- 

tate, as far as is possible, their excellencies. In the schools 

which were then established, that of the peripatetics, whose 

founder was Aristotle, was the one that, cultivating natural 

history, of course merits most notice in a history of botany. 

Aristotle, the son of a perfumer, who were in those days 

the dispensers of compound medicines prescribed by lay 

practitioners, had, from his well-merited reputation, beei^ 

and, on his 

raised to be the tutor of Alexander the Great ; 

pupil becoming possessed of the treasures collected by the 

Persian monarch, he formed the project, among other vast 

schemes of literary renown, of writing a complete history 

of natural substances from actual observation, or the relation 

of the numerous collectors which his influence over 

his former pupil enabled him to employ; and took the 

zoological and meteorological parts under his ov/n immediate 

care ; and his History of Animals, although little regarded 

in the schools engaged in teaching the elements of 

knowledge, is a splendid monument of his abilities. 

The mineralogical and botanical part of this general 

history of nature was entrusted to his pupil Theophrastus, 

who also succeeded to the professorial chair in the public 

school. A work of Theophrastus on minerals, and two on 

plants, have, 

descended to 

after a very narrow escape from oblivion, 

our times. He treats his subject generally 

in a philosophical manner. In his book on the causes of 

plants, he considered the propagation, culture, qualities, 

and uses of plants in general ; but very few are described 

by him in a particular manner, as he supposes the reader 

to be either acquainted with them, or to be informed by 

a master. In his larger work, entitled, the History of 

Plants, he mentions about five hundred plants, and begins 

with the organization, generation, and propagation of 

vegetables. In the third and fourth books he goes on to 

treat largely upon trees ; then follows his observations 

upon timber and choice of it. The sixth book is on shrubs, 

thorny plants, roses, and other ornamental plants usually 

cultivated in gardens. In the seventh he treats upon 

kitchen- garden plants, and those that grow wild. In the 

eighth upon grain of difierenl kiiid^, upon which he is very


copious. The ninth and last book is upon gumsj exudations, 

and the me3,ns of obtaining them. It is much to 

be lamented, that neither Aristotle nor Theophrastus, 

whose mental abilities were of the first order, perceived the 

advantages that would accrue from a detailed description 

of natural substances, by which a student deprived of the 

viva voce instruction of a master might be enabled to recoîse 

them. 

The next author that occurs is Dioscorides. As a physician, 

the object of Dioscorides being only the materia 

medica, he discusses each article used by medical practi- 

tioners in a separate chapter, and comprises the whole in 

five books ; in which, although the order is not very exactly 

kept, the vegetables are treated of as they are aromatic, 

alimentary, and medicinal. For the precedence of the 

aromatics two reasons may be given : one, the usual preference 

given to objects of luxury above those of use ; and 

the other, that the perfumers were the apothecaries of 

ancient times, and naturally affected those substances which 

formed the principal articles of their trade, especially when 

we consider the much greater use of perfumed oils and 

ointments by the ancients than by the moderns. His descriptions 

are chiefly respecting the colour, size, mode of 

growing as compared with other plants then well known, 

and therefore left undescribed. Thus he says : Hyssopus 

is well known to all ; and then having compared origanum 

to hyssop, he compares centaurium minus, tragoriganum, 

serpillum, marum, polycnemon, Symphytum petrgeum, 

ageratum, papaver erraticum, to origanum ; so that the 

knowledge of all these plants are made to depend upon that 

of hyssop. In like manner ocimum is made a type for the 

knowledge of the first sort of calamintha, acinum, ocimoides, 

crinum, solanuin, mercurialis, and heliotropium; 

although by the lapse of years, the ocimum of Dioscorides 

is now become uncertain, and of course the knowledge of 

the other plants is rendered unattainable. 

Although Columella and Cato among the Romans wrote 

on Husbandry, yet none of their works can be said to be 

botanical. Pliny the elder, who commanded the Roman 

fleet stationed in the Bay of Naples, and who perished in 

the year of Christ 71, in an attempt to explore an eruption 

of Mount Vesuvius, is the only author of that nation whose 

writings can be said to belong to the scope of our work. 

In his Flistorla Mundi, a vast encyclopaedia, scarcely less 

varied than the world itself, he has treated from the 12th

V IJNTRODUCnON TO BOTANY. 

to the 27th book upon plants, as well philosophically as 

historically, medically, economically, magically, &c. A 

great part of his work is nearly the same as Dioscorides, 

who, however, is never quoted by name, and therefore, 

considering the candour with which Pliny names the writers 

from whom his book was extracted, there is reason to 

think that Dioscorides and Pliny wrote about the same 

time, and both made use of the same author, either Sextius 

Niger, or Diodorus, or Julius Bassus, but more probably, 

as it would appear from certain passages in Dioscorides, 

of Niger. Pliny, however, was a mere compiler, and 

Tvhatever knowledge of plants he might have acquired in 

his walks in the physic garden of Antonius Castor, it is 

certain that none of it appears in his work, which exhibits 

only a collection of memorandums badly translated from 

the Greek, in which, for want of critical and botanical 

knowledge, numerous mistakes are evident. The design 

of the work was grand, but far too vast to be accomplished 

by any one man, and especially by one immerged in public 

business. The order in which he has disposed his subjects 

is very confused. The great value of Pliny's work, therefore, 

consists in his having preserved to us the remains of 

ancient knowledge on the subject, and especially the application 

of it to the arts of life in those remote times, so 

that he may be considered as the historian of ancient botany 

; and to his indefatigable industry we owe the names 

of several hundred substances not mentioned by those other 

ancient writers whose works have been preserved ; although 

it must be confessed, that much of this knowledge is of httle 

use, as the substances denoted by those names are un^ 

known for want of descrijitions. 

The next writer that occurs is Apulejus. This author, 

who lived in the second century, was born at Madura in 

Africa, which was then a kind of university. He afterwards 

studied at Carthage and Athens, and for some time applied 

himself to the profession of the law in Rome; but marrying 

a rich widow, he retired from ilie bar, and wholly gave 

himself up to philosophy and the practice of physic. He 

is well known as the author of " The Golden Ass" one of 

the few works of amusement, or what is called light reading, 

that have descended to us from the ancients. But the 

work which entitles him to our notice is his book, De 

Herbis, sive de Nominibus et Virtutibus Herbarum. In 

this work he gives the synonyuis of l.'Ô medicinal herbs in 

(^reekj Latin, Egyptian, Punic, Celtic, Daciafl, and of


some in the oriental languages, which he had acquired in 

his travels. After these names he adds a short description 

of the plant, the place of growth, and the properties of 

it. Some of the critics have supposed that this work is 

supposititious, and written long after his time. Johnson, 

wlio edited the second edition of Gerarde's Herbal, imagined 

it was the translation of a work written by some physician 

of Constantinople in the eighth century, but Fabricius 

thinks this conjecture is not probable ; indeed internal evidence 

seems against it. Apulejus was a heathen priest, 

well read in his religion, and much attached to it, as well 

by natural inclination as from the persecutions he suffered 

from the Christian relations of his wife, who accused him 

of magic, and of obtaining her hand and fortune by sorcer}^; 

now the work is filled with those modes of exhibiting 

remedies, which, although only intended by the practitioner 

to aid their operation by the power of fancy, are usually 

considered by others as superstitious, and even magical. 

Galen, who was born about 133 years after Christ, was 

contemporary with Apulejus, and became so celebrated as 

a physician and medical writer, as to have entirely ruled in 

the schools of medicine, to the exclusion of almost every 

other author. His industry in acquiring a knowledge of 

the materia medica, including medical botany, was very 

great, as he sailed to Lemnos to investigate the terra 

Lemnia in its native bed, to Cyprus to visit the mines and 

collect cadmia, pompholyx, diphryges, chalcanthum, and 

other minerals; as also to Cilicia, Phoenicia, Crete, and 

Egypt. His writings are as remarkable for their diffuse 

style, and his continual digressions, as those of Pliny are 

for their conciseness ; and it is not easy to say which is 

the most tiresome to the reader, or requires the steadiest 

attention to peruse. Galen principally treats of plants in 

the sixth, seventh, and eighth books of his work. On 

Simples, in which he mentions the uses of about 450 medical 

plants. He also occasionally treats of several others 

in different parts of his works. It was his great object to 

account for their effects from the second and third qualities, 

as they were called ; that is to say, from the degree of their 

dryness or moisture, and heat and coldness, of each of which 

he distinguishes four degrees. In his introduction, he 

writes against those authors who had attempted to describe 

plants, and thinks the knowledge of them is better acquired 

by tradition. When we consider the great authority which 

the writings of Galen bore ip the schools of medicine for

10 INTRODUCTION TO BOTANY, 

SO many centuries, we need not wonder at the loss of these 

writers thus branded as nearly useless. 

The Greek writers, Oribasius, Aetius, Egineta, who succeeded 

Galen, were such servile copiers of him, that they 

merit not notice. At length, after the lapse of a few cen- 

turies, the Arabs, inspired by the zeal of a new religion, 

burst from their sandy deserts, and over-run the west of 

Asia, the north of Africa, and south of Europe. As soon 

as they h^d formed regular establishments, they began to 

attend to the sciences, and translated the most popular 

Gi'eek authors. 

In this they differed from the later Greeks, that being 

devoid of that superstitious veneration which the Greeks 

possessed for the writers of their golden age of literature, 

they did not confine themselves to the knowledge that had 

been delivered by those writers, but added much of their 

own. To them physicians were indebted for the introduction 

into practice of berberries, camphire, cloves, wallflower, 

cassia fistula, galangais, hyssop, kerraes, lavender, 

mace, manna, Persian manna, mezereon, myrobalans, nutmegs, 

nymphaea, rhubarb, opium, sugar, gum sandarac, 

red Sanders, sebestens, senna, tamarinds, hops, and zedoary. 

Though some of these medical plants have fallen into desuetude, 

others still remain, and form some of the principal 

instruments of physicians to this day. Among these 

Arab v/riters Serapio stands pre-eminent, although Rhazis, 

Avicena, Actuarius (who wrote in Greek), and Mesne, 

must not be forgotten ; and it may be also mentioned, to 

the honour of the Arabs, that it is to them we are indebted, 

if not for the invention, yet for the introduction of chemical 

medicines into practice, so that we may easily estimate 

the great improvements of vv'hich they were the introducers. 

The writings of Galen, and of his Greek and Arabian 

disciples, were the only ones taught in the medical schools 

of Europe, through the medium of wretched translations, 

from the seventh to the fifteenth century. As to those 

parts of natural history, not comprised in the multifarious 

materia medica of this period, the knowledge of them was 

at the lowest ebb. What little was known was a mixture 

of extracts from Pliny, and the relations of travellers who 

endeavoured to give a wonderful cast to the most common 

appearances; who explained the mercantile names of articles 

by some fancied etymology, and then invented a tale to 

support the interpretation. In short, in the natural his- 

torians of this lung period, as Hildeguard, Sylvaticus,


Glanville, and others now almost forgotten, the mixture of 

truth and falsehood is at least in equal parts, as the authors 

wrote down whatever they found in others, without exer- 

cising any critical acumen to distinguish the truth. 

A book under the name of Macer's Herbal seems also 

to have been common in England before the invention of 

printing. Ovid praises the poetry of Macer, a medical 

writer on hei'bs; but as it is impossible he could mean the 

barbarous leonine verses in v/hich this book, De Naturis, 

Qualitatibus, et Virtutibus Herbarum, are written, it is 

generally allowed to be a pseudonjTuous work, and accordingly 

it is ascribed by some to Odo, or Odobonus, said to 

have been a Frencli physician. It was translated into 

English by Mr. John Lelamar, the master of Hertford 

School, who lived about the year 1373- At the first invention 

of printing two editions of it were published, and 

it is surprising that so paltry a work, which treats only of 

88 plants, should have been translated or commented upon 

by the great Dr. Linacre, one of the medical ornaments of 

the reign of Hênry the Eighth, and v.'ho obtained from 

that monarch the establishment of the College of Physicians. 

While these inferior works engrossed the public attention, 

the writings of Theophrastus, Dioscorides, and Pliny, 

the true fathers of natural history, and in particular of 

botany, were utterly neglected, and indeed scarcely known. 

It was not until 14-68, or the year after, that Pliny's 

History of Nature was first printed ; and from this autlior 

Isidore and Platearius was speedily compiled, a German 

work with the title of The Book of Nature, which treats 

of animals and plants; of which latter 176 kinds are noticed, 

and many of them figured. This work is supposed 

by Seguier to be the first book on plants with v.ood-cuts: 

was published between the years J 475 and 1478.

As the Greek language was but little understood in 

Western Europe, till the conquest of Constantinople by a 

people of a different religion drove the Greeks into Italy 

and as this emigration was speedily followed by the invention 

of printing, the learned emigrants, who were obliged 

to exert themselves to maintain their fornier station in society, 

endeavoured to render the Greek authors fashionable 

in the West. 

Of the Greek naturalists, Dioscorides was the first 

printed, with a Latin translation by Barbarus, a Venetian nobleman, 

who died at the early age of 29. This work-^wab

12 INTRODUCTION TO BOTANY. 

brought out in HTS, and was followed in 1483 by an edition 

of Theophrastus, with a Latin translation by Theodore 

Gaza, a Greek emigrant, which is still esteemed the best. 

The translation of Dioscorides by Matthiolus, first printed 

in 1554, supplanted that by Barbaras, and run through 

seventeen editions, 32,000 copies being said to be sold before 

the year 1561 ; but the edition of Caspar Bauhin, in 1598, 

is now esteemed the best. 

The publication of these fathers of botany was followed 

by that of a host of commentanes upon them, whose authors 

endeavoured to find the plants of Syria and Egyjjt 

in Germany, foi-getful of the difference of climate ; and 

thus, instead of dilucidating the author, they merely mislead 

their followers. Even now, after the labours of Rauwolf^ 

who travelled in Syria, Babylon, and Egypt, in the 

sixteenth century; of Tournefort, who travelled also in 

Greece, Crete, &c.; and of Sir James Edward Smith; it 

does not appear, that of the 700 medical plants mentioned 

by Dioscorides, more than 400 can be said to be properly 

ascertained. 

These translations of the ancients were followed in 1484, 

at which time Richard the Third reigned here, by a famojfjs 

herbal, printed at Mentz, imder the title of Herbarium 

; and this was followed the next year by the Ortus 

[i. e. Hortus] Sanitatis, ascribed to Cuba, a physician, 

first of Augsburgh, and afterwards of Frankfort. The 

wood-cuts with which they are adorned, or rather disfigured, 

are rude, and seldom have much resemblance of 

the thing which they profess to illustrate. 

Although printing was introduced into England in the 

reign of Henry the Seventh, yet no works on botany, in 

the English language, were produced in his reign, although 

hunting and angling had occupied the labours of the press. 

It was not indeed till 1516, the seventh of Henry the 

Eighth, that the Grete Herbal, with cuts, appeared. This 

book was very popular, and went through several editions. 

There is no author's name to it, but it was probably made 

up from the French translation of the Hortus Sanitatis, 

with some alterations and additions. It mentions more 

than 400 vegetables, or their products, and of these about 

150 are English, but they are no ways distinguished from 

the exotics. The cuts are smaller than those of the ELortus, 

but equally rude and inaccurate. 

While the mere English reader was obliged to content 

himself with this miserable compilation, Otho Brunst'el and


Others were studying botany practically in the fields, and 

endeavouring, as we already said, to reconcile the plants 

of Germany to the descriptions of Dioscorides. Brunsfel's 

work was published in 1530, and Cordus, another writer 

on the same subject, in 1535. The learned Gesner bestowed 

part of his attention upon botany, and first proposed to 

denominate all plants which have the same flower and fruit, 

however different they may be in other respects, by the 

same common name; or, in modern language, to found 

the genera upon the fructification alone. The plants of 

Germany were, however, still further examined by Leonard 

Fuchs, a physician, and professor at Tubingen. His 

History of Plants is adorned with 510 of the most beautiful 

and correct outlines that have ever been cut in wood. 

The draughtsmen employed were Hemy Fullraaurer and 

Albert Meyer, and the wood-engraver was Vitus Rudolph 

Speckle ; all whose portraits, in half-lengths, are given at 

the end of the work, as Fuchs', in full length, ornaments 

the back of the title. The author had good reason to be 

proud of his artists. His great error was lit applying the 

names of Dioscorides to the plants of Northern Europe; 

nor was he less an admirer of Hippocrates and Galen, 

whose medical writings he vigorously defended against all 

opposers. 

Although the Great Herbal was the only botanical work 

published in England during the reign of the eighth 

Harry, much attention was given to agriculture and 

kitchen-gardening. One of the judges (Fitzherbert) did 

not disdain to write on Husbandry. A committee of privy 

council, the prototype of our present Board of Agriculture, 

was appointed to obtain statistical accounts of the kingdom, 

Anne of Cleves, when transformed by act of Parliament 

from the wife into the sister of Henry, endeavoured , 

to forget the slights of the monarch in the cultivation of 

vegetables. And it is probable, that some of the kitchengardenei's 

at Chelsea are the descendants of the Flemish 

gardeners, whom her real brother sent over to manage her 

garden there. 

The reign of Edward the Sixth was distinguished by 

the publication of Turner's New Herbal; in which the 

alphabetical arrangement of former authors was still followed. 

Turner was born at Morpeth in Northumberland, 

and educated at Cambridge, about 1538. Fie complains 

much of the ignorance of natural history that then prevailed 

in England, even in the universities. " Being then,"


he says, " a student of Pembroke Hall, where I could 

learn never one Greke, neither Latin, nor English name, 

even among the physicians, of any herbe or tree, such 

was the ignorance at that time ; and as yet there was no 

English Herbal, but one" (the great Herbal just mentioned) 

" all full of unlearned cacographies, and falsely 

naming of herbs." He went into holy orders, and was a 

celebrated preacher as well as a physician, and lived for 

some time in Germany, where his fondness for botany led 

him to have a botanic garden at Weissenberg ; and also 

iji Italy, where he procured the foundation of a public 

botanic garden to be attached to the university of Bologna. 

-After which he returned to England, and being made 

Dean of Wells, divided his time between that place and 

his house in Crutched Friars, London. He had a botanic 

garden not only at Wells, but also at Kew. His attainments 

in science were not confined to Botany alone, but 

extended to the knowledge of birds and fishes, in which 

respects he assisted his friend Gesner in his Historia Animalium, 

and also paid attention to mineral waters, of 

which he published a small tract, annexed to his Herbal 

to say nothing of his numerous religious books, and his 

collation and correction of the Bible. 

The complete edition of Turner's Herbal, which was 

originally published in three parts, was printed at Cologne 

in 1568, embellished with upwards of 400 figures, which 

had been used for the octavo edition of Fuchs ; and about 

90 new figures, making in all 502. In the Dedication he 

mentions his contemporary botanists of England, viz. Dr. 

Clement, Dr. Merdy, Owen Wooton, and Mr. Falconer, 

who appears to have had a hortus siccus of foreign as well 

as English plants. Turner was the introducer of lucerne 

into England, by the name of horned clover ; and 

throughout the whole of his Llerbal he appears to have 

exhibited uncommon diligence and great erudition, and 

fully to deserve the character of an original writer. Our 

English herbalists, Gerarde, Johnson, and Parkinson, do 

not appear to have been sufficiently just to his merits; but 

Ray was very sensible of his worth, styling him a man of 

solid erudition and judgment. 

Botany was also pursued at the same time in Germany 

by Tragus, who published in 1552; and in the next year 

Dodoens, a Fleming, began to publish his Flerbal, which 

was the first in which the alphabetical lists of plants were 

exchanged for some gross arrangement. In the present 

8 

;


case, the plants were divided into six books : the first, a 

farrago of very dissimilar plants in alphabetical order : the 

second, flowers and umbelliferous plants : the third, medi- 

cinal roots, purgative plants, climbers, poisonous plants, 

ferns, mosses, fungi : the fourth, grain, pulse, grasses, water 

and marsh plants: the fifth, edibles, gourds, esculent 

roots, oiera, thistles, and spinose plants : the sixth and 

last, shrubs and trees. Certes a most confused arrangement, 

but it showed the value of bringing the history of 

plants which resembled each other near together. 

Soon after the accession of Elizabeth, Dr. William Bullein 

published his " Bulwark of Defence against all Sick- 

nesse, Soarnesse, and Wouiides that doe daily assaulte 

Mankinde." He was, like Turner, a clergyman as well as 

a physician. Notwithstanding his high reputation, he 

underwent much prosecution from the brother of Sir 

Thomas Hilton, who accused him of murdering that gentleman, 

who had been the patron of Bullein, and who had 

died of a malignant fever. ' Although his innocence was 

fully manifested, his prosecutor arrested him for a debt due 

to the deceased, and flung him into prison, where he wrote 

a great part of his medical v^ritings. In one of the parts 

of this collection of his writings he enumerates the virtues 

of British simples, partly from preceding writers, and partly 

from his own experience. On one point he is very patriotic, 

and he vindicates the fertility and climate of England 

with much ardour. 

Contemporary with Turner and Bullein was Dr. Thomas 

Penny, who was not only a botanist of repute, but was one 

of the first Englishmen who studied entomologjr. He published 

no works of his own, but he furnished Gesner, 

Clusius, and Caraerarius, with many communications re- 

lating to English botany ; and his papers, which he left 

to Turner and Mouffet, formed the basis of the Theatrum 

Insectorum of the latter. 

Lobel, although a Fleming, passed the greater part of 

his life in England, where he was afterwards appointed 

botanist to King James the First. He published, conjointly 

with Pena, the first edition of his Adversaria, in 

1570, which afterwards underwent several improvements. 

In this work, the arrangement proposed by Dodonjeus 

was much improved, and an attempt made to form a natural 

arrangement in forty-four tribes ; at the head of each 

of which is given a list of the plants belonging to it. He 

begins with the grasses, of which he describes a number of

16 IXTRODUCTIOK TO BOTANT, 

new species : to each species he adds the Greek, G'^rraan^ 

Dutch, French, and Enghsh name; the description, which 

is frequently obscure and insufficient ; the time of flowering, 

and the places in England where some of the rarer 

plants are to be found. To these are annexed figures. As 

Lobel had carefully studied the ancients, and had spent 

much time in practical botany, exploring France, Switzerland, 

part of Germany and Italy, and various parts of 

England, the Adversaria is a work of much merit, and 

abounds with a deal of curious information. In 1576 he 

published " Obserrationes, sive Stirpium Historite, cui 

annexum est Adversariorum Volumen," with M-SG figures. 

Some additions were afterwards made to these figures, and 

they were printed separately in music quarto, with an index 

in seven languages, which rendered them a popular book • 

for many years. Lobel mentions several English botanists,. 

as Edward Saint Loo, Esq. of Somersetshire ; Mr. Nas- 

myth, a surgeon; Mr. De Franqueville, a merchant, particularly 

fond of flowers ; Mr.- Hugh Morgan, apothecary 

to Queen Elizabeth ; and Mr. Wm. Coys, of Essex. All 

the three last had good gardens ; that of Mr. Coys was 

well stored with exotic plants; and under his care, in 160'1', 

the yucca first flowered in England. Lobel's daughter 

married a Mr. James Coel, of Highgate, and, from the 

frequent mention that Lobel makes of that place in his 

last work, the " Illustrationes," it is probable that he 

spent the evening of his life with his son-in-law. 

Hitherto only the appearance of plants, as they appeared 

to a common observer, or their uses, or some equally unscientific 

arrangement, had been followed, but, in 1583, 

Cassalpinus, an Italian physician, published his book De 

Tlaniis, in which he laid down the basis of a philosophical 

division of them, according to their fruit and seed, and 

which has been since extended and corrected by Ray, 

Hermann, Boerhaave, and Gsertner. This system of Cae- 

salpinus, although the first scientific one, is still valuable, 

and merits attention. A few years after the publicatioi? 

of Csesalpinus's work, namely in 1597, was published the 

first edition of Gerarde's Herbal. This work is in the 

main a translation of Dodoneeus. Gerarde, although the 

Master of the Chirurgeons' Company, was not sufficiently 

versed in Latin to make this translation himself, and 

thereof altered a manuscript translation of one Dr. Priest, 

which the latter had intended to publish, but died before 

he accomplished his purpose; and his papers falling into


the hands of Gerarde, they were transposed from Dodonseus's 

arrangement of his subject into that of Lobell, and 

published by Gerarde without any acknowledgement of 

Dr. Priest's labour in the translation; indeed he speaks 

in his Preface of Dr. Priest's translation as having perished, 

although both Lobell and Johnson affirm that he used it 

himself with no other alteration than the above-mentioned 

change of order in disposing the chapters, and some additions. 

For the embellishment of the work, the publisher 

procured from the Continent the wood-blocks that had 

been used in the pi'inting of Dodonscus, Lobell, and Clusius. 

Lobell was extremely angry at Gerarde having adopted 

his method, at which we may be surprised, since it undoubtedly 

may be considered at this time of day as an 

acknowledgement of his superiority over the order, if order 

it can be called, of DodouEeus; perhaps the real cause 

of Lobell's anger was, that Gerai'de's work being in 

English, had a preferable sale to that of his own works in 

Latin, and might thus injure his purse, however the complaisance 

of Gerarde might flatter his self-love. 

The reign of James the First seems not to have been 

favourable to botanical studies, as no works of any consequence 

were published in his reign in England ; but Basil 

Besler, an apothecary at Norimberg, published the Hortus 

Eystettensis, or account of the plants in the bishop's 

garden there, with 1083 figures on copper, digested according 

to the order of their flowering ; a superb work for 

the time. And in 1623 Caspar Bauhin, professor of anatomy 

and medicine at Basil, published his invaluable Pinax, 

the labour of forty years, in which he collected the various 

names which all the preceding authors had given to the 

thenknow'n plants; so that this work has ever since formed 

a repertory, by which, on knowing the name, that any 

one old author has given to a plant, we are enabled, without 

any trouble, to discover it in the works of other writers 

and this book is of course indispensable in a botanical library 

of any extent. 

Two authors distinguish the unfortunate reign of the 

first Charles, namely, Johnson and Parkinson. Johnson 

was a physician, but, during the civil wars, he became a 

lieutenant-colonel on the king's side, and died of the 

wounds he received in a sally from Basing-house. His 

first botanical publication was the " Iter Cantianum, or a 

Journey into Kent in Search of Plants." Then followed 

his Hst of the plants growing upon Hampstead Heath, 

VOL. I. 

c 

;


which has ever been one of the favourite resorts of the 

London botanists. His great work was a new edition of 

Gerarde's Herbal, with numerous additional articles, by 

which it included in all 2850 plants, with 2730 figures. 

As this work included foreign plants as well as native ones, 

he published, in the next year, his " Mercurius Botanicus," 

which exhibited a list of the plants he found in a 

botanical excursion to the west of England ; so that he 

was the first author who began to distinguish the native 

plants from the others. 

Parkinson published his " Paradisus," or Flower and 

Fruit Garden, in 1629, a work which shows, that at this 

time the gardens of our forefathers were far better stocked 

than we imagine. His profession of an apothecary, or, as 

it is now called, that of a chemist and druggist, taking up 

much of his time, and the time necessary for cutting a new 

set of figures, delayed the publication of his general history, 

or Theatre of Plants, which is more extensive than 

those of Gerarde or Johnson, as it contains 3800 plants, 

with 278G figures. The descriptions are new, and the 

whole has a true botanical cast, whereas both G^^rarde and 

Johnson were intended more for mere medical use. 

The reign of the second Charles was extremely favourable 

to the knowledge of plants. Gardening and planting 

were in high vogue, and among the authors in this department 

Evelyn stands pre-eminent: in 1658 he published his 

French Gardener; in 1664 his Sylva, or Treatise on 

Forest-trees, to which his Kalendarium Hortense, the first 

specimen of this kind, was annexed as an appendix ; and 

in a fourth edition he also added Pomona, or a Treatise on 

Fruit-trees; in 1675 his Terra, or a Philosophical Discourse 

on Earth. But this reign is still more remarkable 

for the attention paid to British botany. In 1650 Dr. How 

made llie first attempt to give, in his Phytologia, a complete 

list of the British plants, of which he enumerated 

1220. A still larger list was afterwards given by Dr. Merrett, 

in his Pinax, published in 1667; a very useful work, 

which included not only 14-00 British plants, but also 

mentioned the animals and minerals then known to be 

produced in these islands. Three years afterwards the 

celebrated Ray, who had already entered upon his career 

of natural history, by publishing, in 1660, his Catalogus 

Plantarum circa Cantabrigiam nascentium, extended his 

Catalogue to a general one of the British islands, and 

eniunerated only 1050 species, rejecting many of those 

8


mentioned by How and Merrett, as being either mfere varieties, 

or foreign plants, unjustly called British. 

Ray gave a new character to botany, and by his illustrating 

every part of natural history, has left behind him 

a series of works which has rendered his name equally dur-^ 

able with the science and the Latin language. He merits 

therefore peculiar notice, particularly as his life shows that 

riches are not necessary to acquire the highest honours in 

science, since his own origin was of the most, humble description. 

He was born in 1628 at Black Notley, near 

Braintree in Essex, where his father was a blacksmith, and, 

as usual in the country, probably a farrier* Being instructed 

in Latin in the grammar-school of Braintree, he 

went to Cambridge when 16 years of age. At 21 he was 

there chosen minor-fellow of Trinity College ; at 23 was 

made Greek lecturer ; at 25 mathematical lecturer ; and at 

27 humanity reader. These early appointments show the 

opinion his fellow-collegians entertained of his abilities. 

No establishment for the study of natural history was then 

formed at Cambridge, although Oxford already possessed 

a botanic garden. Mr. Ray, therefore, collectecl a few of 

his associates, and formed a small society for this purpose. 

In December, 1660, being then 32, he entered the church 

but in September, 1662, on refusing to subscribe an opinion, 

that an act of parliament could render an oath not 

binding upon those who had taken it, he was superseded 

in his college appointments, and deprived of all hope of 

church preferment. One of his fellow-students, Mr. Willoughby, 

took him several journeys, engaged him as tutor 

to his children, and upon his death left his MSS. upon 

birds and fishes, as also his two sons to his care, with an 

annuity of 60/. a year. The small patrimony he received 

from his father he settled, at his marriage, upon his wife, 

by whom he had four daughters, three of whom survived 

him. He died 17th January, 1706, at his native place 

(to which he retired some years after Mr. Willoughby's 

death), in the same humble state as he began life. 

Besides his two Catalogues already mentioned, he published 

at different times, 

A Catalogue of Plants observed in his travels. 

A new Method of Plants. 

A History of Plants, in three large volumes, folio, in 

which upwards of 17,000 plants are enumerated, and the 

greatest part accurately described. 

- 

c 2 

;


A Methodical Synopsis of British Plants, of which he 

gave himself two editions, and a third was published after 

his death by Dr. Diilenius. 

An emendated Method of Plants, concerning which I 

shall hereafter speak more at large. 

A controversial tract respecting the two contemporary 

systems of Rivinus and Tournefort. 

A Synopsis of Quadrupeds and Serpents. 

A Method of Insects. 

These works are all in Latin, by which means they are 

unfortunately less known in their own country than they 

are on tlie Continent: and to this list may be added. 

The editing of Willoughby's History of Birds, in Latin 

and also translating and publishing it in English. 

The editing of Willoughby's History of Fishes, in 

Latin. 

He left in manuscript an unfinished Historia Insectorum, 

which was published by Dr. Derham, who, after a 

long trouble, succeeded in obtaining from the bookseller 

in whose hands they had been lodged, Ray's Synopsis 

Avium, and his Synopsis Piscium ; both which Derham 

published. To this list might be added several philological, 

moral, and theological works; a volume of Travels, and two 

volumes of his Correspondence, which Derham and Scott 

have given to the world : but enough has been said to 

prove his indefatigable industry. 

To prosecute the history of botany since the time of 

Ray, in the same ample manner as I have dwelt upon 

the infancy of it, which is always the most interesting portion 

of the history of any science, would take up too 

much time. The remainder, therefore, can only be sketched 

by a hasty outline. 

In 1677 Dr. Plott gave the first natural history of a 

small local district, by publishing his Oxfordshire, which 

was succeeded two years afterwards by his Staifordshire 

these still remain very favourable specimens of this species 

of literature, and have not been exceeded. 

Sir Hans Sloane, Petiver apothecary to the Charter- 

House, and the elder Martyn Professor of Botany at 

Cambridge, were the principal disciples of Ray in this 

country. The French botanists mostly followed Tournefort, 

and the Germans Rivinus, or some of the modifications 

of his systematic arrangement, until a new adventurer 

appeared in the world of science^ who was destined to eiFect 

; :


a great cliange in botany, and who disputed the palm of 

victory with the celebrated Haller. What man, either of 

letters or science, has not heard of Haller? In poetry, 

devotion, anatomy, physiology, botany, literary history, he 

had few equals, perhaps no superior. In respect to botany, 

he was a follower of Ray, upon whom he bestows the 

highest praise, and attempted to render his arrangement 

still more natural than it is, using the simpler method of 

Ruppius as a finder, in consequence of the abstruseness of 

his own system. Unfortunately his labours were confined 

to the plants of Switzerland, while his competitor embraced 

the whole extent of nature, and each edition of his Catalogue 

was printed upon an expensive scale, in two elegant 

folio volumes, which rendered their circulation very confined, 

while his edition of Ruppius did not display the characters 

of the genera: otherwise the superiority of his own 

system, and the easiness of Ruppius's as an auxiliary, 

would have smothered the Linnsean botany in its birth. 

Hitherto the names of plants had remained nearly stationary'-, 

and if any alteration was attempted the name 

quoted by Caspar Bauhin, in his Pinax, was annexed as the 

common repertory of botanists. The uses also of plants 

had never been neglected. Another point Avas to use the 

words of the language, whether of the Latin or the vulgar 

tongue, in their usual signification. To these Ray had 

added a fourth, namely that to excite inquiry, he gave 

lists of such plants as were only imperfectly known to him. 

LinnaBus violated these old rules by degrees, as his systematic 

arrangement of plants became more and more in 

use. He changed the names of plants with the utmost 

unconcern ; he neglected almost entirely the detail of the 

uses ; and as to the language, he scrupled not to change 

the terms used in describing plants, and to affix new signi- 

fications to well-known words. Another peculiarity in 

Linnasus's writings is, that he does not give any lists of 

those natural substances of which he had only an imperfect 

knowledge: so that a person is apt to suppose them more 

perfect than they really are. 

Let it not however be thought, that some very great improvements 

were not introduced by him, particularly in 

the typographical execution of his works. His taking the 

characters of the families, from the same parts, although 

carried by him to excess, as being extended to the whole 

grand division, now called phenogamous plants, instead of 

being changed in each class according to circumstances, is 

6


a great improvement. His distinction of the species being 

formed from characters visible in the plants themselves, 

instead of the place vi^here found, their size compared with 

others, or their use, is a still greater improvement, li'we 

compare his manner of printing the synoptic tables of 

the genera, prefixed to each class, with the tables of Ray, 

or Knaut, the superiority of his method will be evident. 

The same superiority exists in the manner of printing the 

few descriptions he has published. By always observing 

the same order in treating of the several parts, breaking 

the description into short paragraphs, and using a different 

type for the leading word of the several divisions of a 

paragraph, the eye of a person accustomed to his works 

glances immediately to the information that is required. 

These real improvements, added to the industry which 

he manifested in publishing the successive improvements 

of his system, and the cheapness of his works, in which 

the expense of figures was avoided, brought his system 

into vogue, particularly in Germany and England, it being 

a striking feature in the national characters of their inha- 

bitants to prefer the works of foreigners to those of their 

countrymen. 

In France, however, although he was followed by many, 

yet the greater national pride prevalent there forbade them 

to discard their own Tournefort to oblivion. Linnajus had 

pronounced tlie discovery of the natural arrangement of 

plants, as attempted by Ray, to be nearly hopeless; but the 

French botanists did not so easily despair ; Adanson, Bernard 

Jussieu, his nephew Anthony Jussieu the present 

professor at Paris, Lamarcke, and still more lately De 

CandoUe, the present professor at Geneva, have again attempted 

this task, and have certainly carried it to a degree 

of perfection, as may be seen in this work, in vvhich the 

plants of the British islands are arranged according to the 

latest improvements of these celebrated botanists. 

The authors since Ray may seem, perhaps, to be passed 

over in too rapid a manner ; but when we consider, that 

since his time the uses of vegetables have been almost entirely 

neglected, and that the Linnean school has principally 

supplied us with authors who have new arranged, 

and new named okl things; so that they have plunged us 

again into tlie same chaos, from which we were rescued by 

C. Bauhin in his Pinax, the notice taken of these name- 

setters and rangers, as Hooke would emjjhatically call 

them, is fully sufficient for their merit. A few demand

pur thanks, particularly those who have investigated the 

imperfect or cryptogamous plants, as Micheli, the liverworts 

and fungi ; Persoon, Link, and Esenbeck, the fungi ; 

Dillenius and Hedwig, the mosses ; Geertner, the fruit of 

plants. Of living British authors I purposely abstain from 

any mention, or I would bestow the proper meed of praise 

upon R. Brown, R. A. Salisbury, Goodenough, Dillwyn, 

Turner, and many other successful investigators of nature. 

Having thus brought the history of botany to the present 

time, the following chronological epitome will exhibit 

a clear view of its progress since the invention of printing, 

and also a succinct list of the principal authors, and particularly 

of those relative to English Botany, or the estabUshment

The principal distinctions of the cupule must be taken 

from its appearance in the fruit. 

In general the cupule is very different from the common 

leaves, but there is a regular series of changes from the 

cupule of the corylus avellana, which resembles two leaves 

united together by their edges, through the quercus composed 

of small scales or bracteae soldered together by their 

lower part, and scarcely differing from some involucrums, 

and the ephedra, in which the sheaths at each joint are 

evidently opposite leaves soldered together, approaching 

near the fruit, and composing a series of cupules set one 

within another; and so on to the cupule of pinus,' abies, &c.

i228 INTRODUCTION TO BOTANY. 

4. On making a Collection of dried Plants, Fruits, and Seeds. 

The most exact description, and the most accurate 

drawings or engravings of plants, are necessarily imperfect; 

and it is absolutely necessary for a botanist to see the 

plants themselves. And as plants soon go out of flower, 

and perish, it is also equally requisite to devise some method 

of preserving them, or at least their most important 

parts, so that they may be re-examined at any subsequent 

period, and compared together at pleasure. 

For this purpose Botanists have at all times made collections 

of dried plants, under the name of an herbarium, 

or hortus siccus : and since the examination of the fruits 

and seeds of plants have been found of such great use in 

detecting the natural analogies of plants, there has been 

added to this collection that of fruits and seeds. 

The drying of plants is a very simple operation, if the 

botanist is provided with plenty of paper. A plant in full 

flower, or if too large, a branch only, is the most necessary 

specimen to be kept; but if opportunity will admit, others, 

in various stages of growth should be collected and pr^' 

served. 

'\j^'.' 

The specimen should be laid down flat upon a leaf of 

paper, and spread out so that the several parts may not 

cross over each other, nor be put into an unnatural and 

forced position. The sheet thus charged with the plant is 

then to be placed between several other leaves or sheets of 

dry paper, and slightly compressed, either by weights put 

upon a board placed over 

commonly used for linen. 

them, or by the screw-press, 

When several plants are laid 

down at once, a number of empty sheets, or leaves of paper, 

should be placed between each charged leaf; the more the 

better and the seldomer do they require to be changed, 

which must be done every day, or oftener, especially if the 

paper is used sparingly. When only a few specimens are 

dried at once, and they are not very succulent, it is sufficient 

to put them between the leaves of an old book of 

sufficient size and thickness. The great point is to prevent 

the colours of the flowers from changing, and this is best 

obtained by hastening the drying; which, when the botanist 

is pressed for time and convenience, is sometimes done by 

ironing them over with a hot smoothing iron, such as are 

used by laundresses, and which can be procured by the tra-


Teller at most inns, the plant being covered with paper to 

protect it from the iron. 

Some plants are so vivacious that they continue to grow, 

even when dried and placed upon paper; and others are 

apt to lose their leaves ; the remedy for both these defects is 

to dip them for a few minutes in boiling water. 

When the plants are dried, they should be placed upon 

leaves of paper of a proper size, either foolscap folio, or 

demy quarto; which last size is in general sufficient, and 

should a long grass occasionally require more room it may 

be laid down on a double leaf, and then folded. The 

mosses, being almost universally minute plants, require only 

an octavo or even duodecimo leaf. The plants are gene- 

rally fastened down with paste, gum-Avater, isinglass-jelly, 

or, still better, a mixture of the two latter: other botanists 

sew them down, or fasten them by narrow slips of paper 

passed through slits made in the leaf. In the first method, 

it is difficult to take the plants off for re-examination 

and comparison, and paste is apt to attract insects ; while, 

in the second method, the threads and ends of the slips 

catch hold of the plants placed on the sheet below them, 

and derange, if not in some measure destroy, these plants: 

upon the whole, the fastening of the specimens by slips of 

paper glued down at each end seems preferable to any 

other mode, and attended with the fewest inconveniences. 

No more than one species of plants should be fastened 

upon the same leaf, and the leaf should be subscribed with 

its different names, or at least with that of the botanical 

author in most repute; to diis name should be added the 

place and time, where and when it was gathered, or fi'om 

whom procured. 

Botanical writings being usually arranged either in the 

alphabetical order of the names as in dictionaries, or in 

what are called artificial systems, according to the differences 

observable in any particular set of organs chosen by 

the author, as the phanerogamous plants are arranged by 

Xjnnseus, according to the number, situation, and connexion 

of their sexual organs, and the ci'yptogamous plants 

by their general appearance; or, lastly, in the natural 

method, founded upon the analogy and relation subsisting 

between plants, so far as they have been discovered : so the 

specimens thus collected may be arranged in either. While 

the collection is yet in its infancy, the alphabetical order is 

not improper ; as the student advances in the science, the 

artificial system adopted as a guide will be found more


convenient ; but he cannot too soon endeavour to becoraie 

acquainted with the natural method, and ai-range his col- 

lection by it : this being the ultimate goal of the science, to 

which the two other arrangements are merely subordinate. 

Whatever arrangement is adopted, the leaves charged 

with the plants of the same genus, or, in other words, which 

bear the same common or family name, as the various 

kinds of poppy, pnpaver^ mint, mentlia, &c. ai'e to be collected 

together and placed between the fold of a sheet of 

paper, inscribed with the common name: when this common, 

or generic name as it is called, comprises a great 

number of species, as in willow, salix, rose, rosa, the genus 

must be divided into sections, and a sheet allotted to each 

section. 

These genera, or first divisions, are then to be distributed 

into larger collections, either by their initial lettersj 

orders, or families, and each of these grand divisions placed 

in a kind of port-folio, usually made of strong blue or cai^ 

tridge paper, and inscribed with its proper distinction. 

Lastly, these port-folios are to be placed methodically 

in a cabinet of a proper size, the shelves of which are 

either the size of the port-folios, or which will hold two or 

more of them. Linnaeus and Withering have given sections 

of such cabinets, with the shelves placed at different distances, 

so as to hold the plants of one of their classes in 

the order in which they occur in their systems ; but as the 

greater divisions of both the natural and artificial arrangements 

are very unequal, so that some shelves are ordered 

by them to be only two and others fourteen inches apart; 

•this is very awkward, and it is far better to have the shelves 

at equal distances, and to mark, by appropriate labels, the 

contents of each shelf. 

When, instead of a general collection, the botanist intends 

only a collection of the plants of the country in which 

he lives, and there exists any good systematic catalogue of 

them, it may be sufficient, if he procure a sufficient number 

of folio or quarto volumes of blue or cartridge paper, having 

the alternate leaves cut out within an inch of the back, as 

arc sufficient for the large plants, and writing the names of 

the several species at the head of the pages, allowing one to 

each, fills them up as he procures the plants, and dries them: 

in many cases, when the plants are not succulent, they may 

be put at once in their place. The mosses may have a 

similar series of octavo or duodecimo volumes allotted for


them. In like manner medical students may proceed with 

respect to the plants of the materia medica. 

Succulent fruits and seeds can only be preserved in spirit 

of wine, or saturated brine, changing it when it becomes 

too highly coloured : the dry fruits and seeds require no 

other care than to prevent tlie ravages of insects. 

Mushrooms may be dried by being buried in very dry 

sand, and placed in a warm situation: but some of these 

are so watery, that they cannot be preserved even in this 

or any other known method. 

To prevent the destruction of this collection by the in- 

sects, which soon begin to attack some tribes of plants, 

especially the acrid" and pungent families of the cruel ferae 

and euphorbiacese, as also the compositse and umbelliferse, 

the best method seems to be the washing over of the specimens 

with a hair pencil charged with a solution of corrosive 

sublimate in spirit of wine, after which no insect 

can touch them: but as foreigners always examine plants; 

by their taste, as well as their other characters, it will be 

necessary to notice this impregnation, either at the commencement 

of the series, or by annexing some markvtb 

each plant thus treated. 

5. On the Names of Plants. 

The old botanists, studying things rather than words, 

and more engaged in finding the uses of the plants ihat 

grew the most abundantly around them, or were imported 

by the merchants, than in forming catalogues to comprehend 

all that nature or the province produced, contented 

themselves with the names given to the best known plants 

by the peasantry of the country, and which, when we can 

discover their true etymology, are usually strikingly significative 

of them, or refer to their use in medicine, economy, 

or the arts; and as to the less known ones, they referred 

them from their appearance to some of the better known 

plants; and if they had occasion to mention them, they 

added to the name of the better known plants such short 

phrases as they judged necessary to explain the difference. 

By this means each of the well known plants, the rose, rue, 

pea, &c. and sometimes the cultivated varieties of them, as 

chasselas, muscats, became, to use our modern language, 

the type of a genus, the species of which were distinguished 

by descriptive phrases, of greater or less length, as the differences 

were more or less distinctly marked, as the white

2.32 INTRODUCTION TO BOTANY. 

rose, musk-rose, garden-rue, meadow-rue. In some cases, 

when the smallness of the plants, as in mosses, or their 

common use did not require accurate discrimination, as in 

grasses, thpse genera were inconveniently long, and they 

required a-Kne or two of description for their distinction, 

as Gramen paniculatum nemorosum, latiore folio, glabrum, 

panicula nutante non aristata (now called schenodorus 

elatior, see vol. ii. p. 115): but in justice to the old botanists 

it must be confessed that these long names, the plants not 

being of any use, were to be found only in catalogues; 

whilst those which frequently occurred seldom exceeded 

two or three words, and most commonly were designated 

by a single word. 

The distress induced by the conquest of the South of 

Europe by the Northern nations having abolished the use 

of garlands in feasts, and of course the cultivation of 

flowers, there remained only the economical and medicinal 

uses of plants to engage persons in the study of them 

hence the appellation of physic-gardens given to the oldest 

collections of living plants: but the conquest of Mexico 

jby the Spaniards having introduced a taste for the cultivation 

of flowers from that city, and the novel appearance 

of the vegetation of the new Continent a similar taste for 

collecting rare plants, the name of physic-garden became 

changed into that of botanic-garden. 

These new plants requiring new distinctions, they not 

being in many cases referrible to European types, and their 

native names, either unknown, or barbarous to our ears and 

refractory to our mode of orthography, occasioned bo- 

tanists to turn their attention to the forminir of a reo-ular 

nomenclature. Gesner fiist proposed that all plants having 

similar flowers and fruits should be called by a common 

name; a rule which, in many cases, required the disuse of 

the old substantives, and the supplying of their place by 

adding distinctive phrases to those substantives that were 

retained. Rivinus, agreeing with Gesner in the main, first 

limited the accompanying discrimination to a single adjec- 

tive. Linnaeus adopted this restriction of what he called 

the trivial name, to a single word; but used, in some cases, 

the old substantive denoting the plant in apposition with 

the new one, as Triticum Spelta, Artemisia Absinthium. 

In a few instances he violated his own rules, and used two 

words for his generic or specific name, as Liquid ambar 

styraciflua, Ros marinus officinalis, Alistna Plantago aqua- 

tica, Amomum Granum Paradisi. Mimosa Unguis cati. 

;


The regularity of this nomenclature was hailed as a great 

improvement, and as a means of fixing the names of plants; 

indeed, as long as the Species Plantarum of Linnaeus himself 

was considered as the common repertory of botanists, 

it was such; and this advantage would have remained if 

he had been incapable of error, or botany remained stationary 

: but further researches have shown that many of 

his species do not agree with the generic character, and 

of course they have since been removed to other genera; 

that several are collections of a number of species, or even 

of several genera of plants, and of course have been divided; 

while new plants have been discovered which are 

not comprehended in his writings. 

The rapidity of these alterations, and the number of the 

works in which they are scattered, exceeding the power of 

the enumerators of plants to collect together as fast as they 

are proposed, obliges those writers who have occasion to 

mention a number of plants, not only to quote once for 

all the repertory, or pinax, from whence the generality of 

the names they use are taken, whether it be the Species 

Plantarum of Linneeus, or of Willdenow, the Synopsis 

Plantarum of Persoon, the Dictionnaire de la Botanique 

of Lamarcke, the Systema Vegetabilium of Roemer and 

Schultze, the Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale of De 

CandoUe, or any other similar work; but also to annex to 

the other names not taken from this more common repertory, 

the books, and frequently the editions, from 

whence they are taken, as modern botanical authors often 

change the names they have themselves given to plants. 

This necessity of quoting the works from whence the 

names are taken, because the same name has been used by 

different authors, or even by the same author in different 

works, or editions, to denote different plants, renders the 

supposed advantage of what is falsely called the Linnoean 

nomenclature, since Rivinus was the original proposer, 

and which appears so brief and regular in theory, not only 

a mere nullity in practice, but in reality proves its infe- 

riority to the old method of adding specific differences 

to the generic name, when this method is corrected by the 

caaon of Linneeus, that the distinctions should be taken 

from what may be observed in the plant itself, and not 

from its place of growth or other extraneous circumstances, 

although the convenience of these being noted as accessories 

are acknowledged and used by all; since neither have the

234 TNTRODUCTION TO BOTANY. 

majority of readers the power of referring to so manyworks, 

some probably very expensive; nor does the mere 

quoting of these trivial names, and the works in which 

they are used, give the same satisfaction to the reader, as 

common types with specific differences, while it is equally 

long in reading, although, from the contractions used in 

printing the titles of the books, it appears much shorter 

to the eye, it is not so easy to remember. 

To avoid in part these inconveniences, it has lately been 

proposed, when plants are removed from one genus to another, 

to give the preference, in all cases, to the adjunct 

given by Linneeus himself, or the first of his followers who 

has mentioned the plant, unless this adjunct has been already 

applied to some other species in the genus into which 

it is removed : but the changes made by Linnaeus, and still 

more those by his followers, have so embroiled the science, 

in applying the names of the older authors to far different 

plants than those to which they were originally applied; as 

melia, a name given by the ancients to a species of ash, is 

applied by them to an Indian shrub; bromelia, another 

species of Grecian ash, to an American tree; and gingidium, 

the name of a Greek umbelliferous plant, to a plant of the 

South Sea Islands; that it would appear necessary to go 

still further back, and to establish as a canon, that the 

name given to a plant by the oldest author, who has so 

described, or otherwise designated the plant, in the language 

in which we speak or write, as to render us certain, 

of its due application to the plant of which we treat, shall 

be esteemed the preferable name for it, although the substantive 

should not be the same as the name of the genus 

'Under which it is arranged in the system that may happen 

to be in fashion; indeed, if this anomaly should, contrary 

to the opinion and practice of Ray, who always used" the 

names of the authors whose writings were in common circulation, 

although the substantive might be different, be 

esteemed of any consequence, the method used by Boerhaave, 

of connecting the name of the genus when different 

from the substantive, by the introduction of the relative 

and the ellipsis of the substantive verb, in the manner by 

which the synonyms of Ptay have been quoted, as for example, 

the adiantum album crispum alpinum of Schwenck- 

feld being placed by Ray in his genus, Filix foemina, is 

thus quoted in vol. ii. p. 16, Filix foemina quae (est) Adi- 

" antum album, &c. By this means alone can the perma-


nence of names be secured and joined with the advantages 

derived from a systematic arrangement, since it appears of 

little consequence to retain the adjective, common perhaps, 

as latifolius, multiflorus, and the like, to an hundred 

plants, if the substantive, or original generic name, be 

alterable at the pleasure of every systematist.

THE 

NATURAL ARRANGEMENT 

OF 

BRITISH PLANTS. 

PLANTS. 

Natural bodies formed of dissimilar parts, of 

an organic structure, and although entirely destitute of the 

pov/er of voluntarily moving from place to place, or of any 

organs of sensation, yet possessed of a living principle by 

which they grow and increase, acquiring nourishment, not 

by the ingestion of their food into an internal organ, i. e. a 

stomach, the assimilation of one part and the rejection of 

the remainder, but by the intus-susception of liquid matters 

through a portion of their external surface, generally 

by the part, roof, buried in the ground : capable of producing 

other individuals similar to themselves, either by 

the thrusting forth and subsequent spontaneous separation 

of sporse, gongyli, or turiones, organized from the first 

similarly to themselves, and expanding without fecunda- 

tion, or by the formation and dispersion of a kind of eggs, 

seeds, produced in one set of reproductive organs, the pistills, 

fecundated and rendered capable of expansion into a 

plant similar to its parent by the intromission of a fluid 

secreted by a different set of organs, the stamens, placed 

either upon another individual, more commonly on the 

same but separate, and still more commonly witiilii the 

same covers, oxjiowers. These reproductive organs, when 

present, are rarel)^ solitary, usually numerous, in each individual, 

and enclosed in two covers, the inner cover, or 

lloom, of a gay and lively colour, seldom uncovered. The

seed-bearing, or female organs of Linnaeus, usually occupying 

the centre of the flower, and single ; the fecundating, 

or male organs of Linnaeus, generally more numerous, 

mostly five, surrounding the females in a circle: neither of 

these organs serving for more than a single fecundation and 

production of seeds, but withering and falling oW, although 

new organs of the same kind are frequently produced on 

the same plant in the following years. The fecundation 

effected by the motion of the atmosphere, or the passage 

of insects, either carrying the fecundating liquid from the. 

one organ to the other, or occasioning the approach of the 

two organs, and the moisture of the one then causing the 

rupture of the other, and the consequent emission of the 

fecundating fluid. The seeds sometimes growing until they 

become similar to their parent before they fall off and are 

dispersed. 

Plants are primarily divided into three series. 

1. PLANTS CELLULOSiE. 

Structure cellular ; embryo 0, reproduced by sporae. 

2. PLANTS ENDOGENiE. 

Structure vascular; trunk cylindrical, homogeneous, the 

centre youngest; emhryo undivided; cotyledon 1 ; plumule 

extra-axile. 

3. PLANTS EXOGEN^. 

Structure vascular; trunk conical, composed of wood 

covered with bark, the outer part of the wood youngest; 

emhryo divided; cotyledons 2 or many; plumule axile. 

Series I. PLANTS CELLULOS.E. 

PLANTS composed entirely of cellular texture, having 

neither lymphatic, spiral, nor proper vessels, nor any cortical 

pores. Corculum simple; cotyledons 0; propagation 

mostly gemmaceous. 

Divided into two subseries : A, aphylleae ; B, foliaceae.

PLANTS CELLULOSE APHYLLE.^. 277 

Subseries I. A. PLANTiE cellulosje aphylle^. 

Fungi and Algce, Linnseus. GyncecicB, Stokes. AnandrcB^ 

Link. 

Planls similar in all their parts, formed into an universal 

receptacle, fhallus, or several partial receptacles, ihecce either 

loose, or fastened to the place of growth by peltate or 

fibrous holdfasts; absorbing their nutriment by their whole 

surface. Propagation by budlike spores, which are generally 

enclosed in sporidia, and these sporidia placed in or 

upon the receptacles.

On the trunks of trees, especially on oaks. 

Thallus astringent, used in infusion to cure wounds and 

ulcers, and esteemed a specific in spitting of blood and 

consumption ; as a native plant it was despised by the regular 

facult}^, and the cetraria Islandica, as long as it was 

esteemed a foreigner, usurped its place; but that being 

now found to be a native, has fallen into the like disrepute.
