| Summary | "Elementary Botany" by George Francis Atkinson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work provides a comprehensive introduction to botany, focusing on plant physiology, morphology, and ecology, exploring the fundamental life processes of plants, as well as their form and function in relation to their environment. It serves as a textbook for students, particularly those in botany courses, aiming to deepen their understanding of plant life. At the start of the book, the author outlines the structure and aims of the text, detailing its organization into three main parts: physiology, morphology and life history of representative plants, and the relationship between plant members and their environment. This introductory section sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of protoplasm—the living material of plants—beginning with its study in various simple plants like "Spirogyra" and "Mucor". The opening discussions illustrate important concepts such as the properties of protoplasm, methods of observation, and initial experiments to observe plant behavior under different conditions, laying a strong foundation for the chapters that follow.
