Elements of Structural and Systematic Botany For High Schools and Elementary College Courses

"Elements of Structural and Systematic Botany" by Douglas Houghton Campbell is a textbook designed to teach high school and early college students the basics of botany, focusing on the structure and classification of plants. The book kicks off by explaining why it's important to learn about plants, and promises to deliver up-to-date information and a clear focus on understanding plant anatomy and how different plants are related to each other. It stresses learning structure and relationships, not merely plant names, and prepares students by introducing the systems used to classify plants and the equipment needed to study them, like microscopes, aiming to give students a solid foundation for understanding the science of botany.
