Abstract
(1) IT would be an interesting question to discuss in its technical connections what re the differences between a glossary, a dictionary, and an encyclopa dia of botany, but space will not allow of that, and we may pass on to say that this heavy book, typically German and written by Germans for Germans, stands in sharp contrast, with its unequal paragraphs—for instance, more than two pages and a half are devoted to Drüsen, none to Zelle, and only half a page to Zell-kern—to the light and neat English “Glossary of Botanic Terms” of our own countryman, Mr. Daydon Jackson.
