What reading level is First Lessons in Botany And Vegetable Physiology : to Which is Added a Copious Glossary, Or Dictionary of Botanical Terms book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The stamens of the Barberry, when touched at the base on the inner side, — as by an insect seeking for honey, or by the point of a pin, — make a sudden jerk forward, and in the process commonly throw some pollen upon the stigma, which stands a little above their reach. In many blossoms, the stamens just at the proper season slowly approach the stigma, and after shedding their pollen recede or wither away. In such cases we plainly perceive that a useful end is subserved. But what shall we say of... the Venus's Fly-trap of North Carolina, growing where it is always sure of all the food a plant can need, yet provided with an apparatus for catching insects, and for no other special use that we know of, and actually captur- ing them expertly by a sudden motion, in the manner already de- scribed (12G, Fig. 81)? Or of the leaflets of the Desmodium gyrans of the East Indies, or one of the petals of some Orchideous flowers, moving spontaneously in a wide sweep, falling and rising by turns every few seconds for nearly the whole day long ?
