Angiosperms generally have displayed remarkable elasticity in adap- tation to environment, but it may be claimed that among them the elasticity of the Dicotyledons is the more pronounced. The plan of this book, as well as the limitations both 204 PLANT-LIFE of author and space, preclude the possibility of anything like a full account of these last arrivals in the plant realm, nor do we find it practicable to present the reader with a general survey, even were such desirable.
