What reading level is Elements of Botany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Hold in the forceps a ripe fruit of any of the common kinds of dock,^ and examine with the magnifying- glass. Note the three dry, veiny, membranaceous sepals by which the fruit is enclosed. On the outside of one or more of the sepals is found a tubercle or thickened appendage which looks like a little seed or grain.
No use is known for this.
Of what use are the sepals, after drying up ? Why do the fruits cling to the plant long after ripening ?
Carefully remove the sepals and examine the frui...t within them. What is its color, size, and shape ? Make a sketch of it as seen with the magnifying glass. Note the three tufted stigmas, attached by slender threads to the apex of the fruit. What does their tufted shape indicate ?
What evidence is there that this seed-like fruit is not really a seed ?
Make a cross-section of a fruit and notice whether the wall of the ovary can be seen, distinct from the seed coats. Compare the dock-fruit in this respect with the fruit of the anemone, shown in Fig.
