Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London Journal of Botany, Vol. 7: Containing Figures and Descriptions of Such Plants as Recommend Themselves by Their Novelty, Rarity, History, or Uses; Together With Botanical Notices and Information, and Occasional Memoirs of Eminent Botanists; With Twenty-Three Plates The Cruciferous Order, one of the most numerous and important in the Vegetable Kingdom, has attracted the attention of many distinguished botanists, who, at various times, have studied the peculiar structure of its in orescence. The most contradictory opinions on the symmetry of its organs, and on the original type to which they should be referred, have been the result. Owing to this disparity of opinion among botanists, and notwithstanding their labours, much yet remains to be said on this interesting subject. Our intention is to recapitulate the theories, true or false, of the authors who have preceded us, and having shown the value of the form er, and combated the latter, we shall add our own observa tions, and deduce from both a new explanation of several important parts of the ower.
