About This Item
Wm. C Brown Company, South Locust Street, Dubuque, Iowa 1964 Spiral-bound card-covers, 5½" x 8½" Previous owner's details to first page. Spiral-bound book in GOOD condition The variety and form and color of algae are seemingly endless and nature has shown no bounds in designing these ornate plants, many of which have bizarre shapes and specialized habits. This book will help in identifying 440 fresh-water algal genera. The naming and identificaton of a plant must serve as a basis for any study of structure, physiology, life history, ecology and economic importance; so having found the generic names of fresh-water algae, you may wish to identify plants according to their specific names. This book includes illustrations of the genera to present their most common species (but among the one-celled genera there is considerable variation in form among the species included in a genus).
