Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ferns (Filicales) Treated Comparatively With a View to Their Natural Classification, Vol. 2: The Eusporangiatae and Other Relatively Primitive Ferns As a result of simple induction from the observed facts it may be stated generally that simple hairs are a primitive feature, and that branched hairs and in particular flattened scales are an indication of advance from that simple state. Evidence of this advance parallel with other indications of advance in other characters may be found in various phyletic sequences, and this fully substantiates the general correctness of the conclusion thus stated (chapter XI).

Book excerpt: Frederick Orpen Bower (1855-1948) was a renowned botanist best known for his research on the origins and evolution of ferns. Appointed Regius Professor of Botany at the University of Glasgow in 1885, he became a leading figure in the development of modern botany and the emerging field of paleobotany, devising the interpolation theory of the life cycle in land plants. First published between 1923 and 1928 as part of the Cambridge Botanical Handbook series, The Ferns was the first systematic classification of ferns according to anatomical, morphological and developmental features. In this three-volume work Bower analyses the major areas of comparison between different species, describes primitive and fossil ferns and compares these species to present-day fern species, providing a comprehensive description of the order. Volume 1 describes and analyses the features of ferns which Bower uses in his system of classification.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ferns (Filicales) Treated Comparatively With a View to Their Natural Classification, Vol. 3: The Leptosporangiate Ferns Incidentally the composition of the book on Tke Orzgz'zz ofa Laud Flam demonstrated that the facts and methods current at the opening of the present century could not suffice for any full evolutionary treatment of the Class ofthe Filicales. Not only were further details necessary for an adequate comparison of Eusporangiate Ferns, but more particularly the tangled problem of the evolutionary lines of the Leptosporangiate Ferns was still too obscure in 1908 for any coherent treatment. Their phyletic relations were hardly more than hinted at in the Land Flam, pending further research. It was necessary in the first instance to widen the basis of comparison by the introduction of new criteria, each treated critically, so as to distinguish archaic features from those held to be of more recent origin. The conclusions thus attained were checked so far as possible accordingto the palaeontological evidence. The results of such study were first published in a series of Memoirs, I - VIII, in the Annals of Boz'cmy (1910 and these supplied the material for Vol. I of this work. In Vol. II the phyletic method based on this wider comparison was applied to the relatively primitive Ferns: while the present Volume aims at a like phyletic treatment of the great mass of advanced Leptosporangiate F erns.
