Abstract
DR. GILBERT-CARTER'S aim in writing this sequel to his earlier “Catkin-Bearing Plants” is threefold: to enable students to identify our native woody plants, and many commonly cultivated ones; to illustrate Engler's system of classification and to show, by giving the derivations of all the Latin names used, that botanical nomenclature is a human subject with its roots in the past.
British Trees and Shrubs, including those commonly planted:
a Systematic Introduction to our Conifers and Woody Dicotyledons. By H. Gilbert-Carter. Pp. xv + 291. (Oxford: Clarendon Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1936.) 12s. 6d. net.
