FIELD BOTANY

Field Botany 114. C. E.—5:30; R. 1. Credit, 2 hours. Mr. Lambeth.

The outline projected is intended to give to the student a systematized course of
study, making it an easy and agreeable task for him to identify the various plant
families in his locality and acquire methods of study by which children may identify
and become familiar with the individual plants of their neighborhood.

The course will be of a practical character and performed in the fields and forests
near the University where the plant life is diversified and rich in both indigenous
and imported varieties.

Each student will, under direction, collect, identify, mount and preserve characteristic
types, so that he will have commenced the accumulation of an herbarium for
use in his teaching, and to which he can continually add specimens from his own
locality or that in which he is teaching. Text-Book.—Gray's Manual of Botany.
