Excerpt from Key and Flora: Northern and Central States
In the matter of nomenclature it seems best for those who do not wish to be hopelessly sectional to follow the rulings of the Vienna Congress. The author deems himself fortunate to have been able in this connection to avail himself of the deci sions of the staff of the Gray Herbarium, as embodied in the seventh edition of Gray's Manual of Botany, and to get advice from the same source in regard to names of cultivated plants not described in the Manual. His most sincere thanks are hereby tendered for this invaluable assistance.
At the risk of sometimes seeming pedantic the writer has adopted the practice of discarding, for the most part, such un scientific expressions as stemless plants, radical leaves, calyx adnate to the ovary, and several others. It is certain that if the plant descriptions which contain such terms were now being framed for the first time on the basis of present day morphology, these terms would not be used.
