About this book
The listing for Field and Woodland Plants by William S. Furneaux promises coloured plates and numerous illustrations made from drawings and photographs. The explanation of flower structure describes a complete flower as modified leaves arranged in four distinct whorls, attached directly or indirectly to a receptacle. The account calls the outer whorl the calyx and explains that its sepals may be either united or distinct.
The description identifies the true Deadly Nightshade, or Dwale, as a very local plant occurring principally in waste places in the South of England. The plant list names Meadow Saxifrage, Earthnut, Daisy and Dandelion, with heights and flower measurements alongside the entries.
