On Buds And Stipules (1899)

On Buds and Stipules is a book written by John Lubbock in the year 1899. The book is a detailed study of the structure and function of buds and stipules in plants. Lubbock, who was a renowned naturalist and biologist, delves into the morphology, anatomy, and physiology of buds and stipules, providing a comprehensive understanding of their roles in plant growth and development.The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with buds, which are the small, undeveloped shoots that form on the stem or branches of a plant. Lubbock discusses the different types of buds, their formation, and the factors that influence their growth. He also explores the functions of buds, including their role in vegetative reproduction and the production of flowers and fruits.The second part of the book focuses on stipules, which are small, leaf-like structures that grow at the base of a leaf. Lubbock examines the morphology and anatomy of stipules, as well as their function in plant growth and development. He also discusses the different types of stipules and their roles in protecting the plant from predators and environmental stressors.Overall, On Buds and Stipules is a comprehensive study of two important structures in plant biology. Lubbock's detailed analysis provides a wealth of information for botanists, horticulturists, and anyone interested in the biology of plants.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
