Excerpt from The Bryophytes of ConnecticutThe plants treated in the present report are largely neglected by collectors, partly on account of their small size and the difficulties encountered in their identification, partly on account of their slight value from an economic standpoint. To the student of botany, however, and especially to the morphologist and taxonomist, they are of exceptional interest. The morphologist finds among them all gradations between simple and more complex types of structure, and is thus enabled to gain some idea of the way in which the higher plants may have been derived from the lower, while the taxonomist obtains from them a series of distinct and at tractive genera and species, which offer for his solution many complicated problems in variation and geographical distribu tion. In presenting to the botanists of Connecticut some ac count oi the work which has been done on the Bryophytes within the state, it is hoped that more interest in this neglected group of plants may be aroused.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
