Excerpt from The American Botanist and Florist: Including Lessons in the Structure, Life Growth of Plants, Together With a Simple Analytical Flora, Descriptive of the Native and Cultivated Plants Growing in the Atlantic Division of the American UnionBetween the cultivated exotics and the wild native or naturalized species constituting our own flora, a distinction is made in the type. The names of the latter are expressed in full-face, Roman for the species, and Italic for the varieties. The names of the exotics are in small capitals.The geographical limits of the present flora are the same as those adopted in the class-book; viz., all the States of the American Union lying east of the Mississippi River. This will necessarily include so many of the plants of the States bordering on the western shore of the Missis sippi, that the book may be regarded as well adapted to those States also.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
