British Mosses (Classic Reprint)

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from British Mosses
What then is a Moss? This is a question not to be hastily answered, and will I think be best answered at the end and not at the beginning of this paper. If you are working deductively, your definitions may come at the beginning; but if by patient investigation into natural facts, beware of starting with definitions - they ought to be the ripest fruit of your longest labour.
Classzfication. Vegetable productions are commonly divided into two great groups those which possess obvious blossoms, or Phanerogams, and those which possess no obvious blossoms, or Cryptogams. The Cryptogams are again divided into two great groups - those Whose structure is built up of cells without regularly formed vessels, such as sea weeds, fungi and lichens, the cellular Cryptogams; and those which, like the ferns and the club-mosses, possess, in addition to cells, regularly formed vessels; these are known as Vascular Cryptogams.
