Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the Michigan Academy of Science Containing an Account of the Annual Meeting: Held at Ann Arbor; March 26, 27 and 28, 1903
Within the past few years a delightful department of botany has attracted much attention. It is emphatically outdoor work and is known as Ecology or the relations of plants to their environment.
This Flora may help the student in his investigations of plant groups or plant associations, noting those peculiar to certain kinds of soil. And others growing almost everywhere. It will aid in listing natives and exotics. Students can make many lists, such as those forming rosettes, those that climb, those that thrive in the woods in early Spring. Those that grow in strata or layers above each other or in zones within and without each other. It should aid in the study of plant dispersal by all sorts of methods and in the multitude of ways by which plants protect themselves.
