At first the most conspicu- ous plants attract the attention, and afterwards, in succession, those less and less conspicuous. They, in reality, present them- selves in great natural groups, readily distinguished by well-marked characteristics. It will be seen, as these pass in review, that they are conspicuous according as they are complex. The gorgeous flow- ering plants have complicated methods of reproduction —corollas and honey, attrac- tive to insects ; ingenious sta- mens, pistils, seed-boxes, and seeds. The humble grasses, with their close relatives, dispense with gay colours and the as- sistance of insects, and trust to the breezes to carry their pollen to its goal. The pines and their allies are a step nearer simplic- ity, and do not enclose Winged seed their seeds in a seed-box at all, but provide them with wings for dissemi- nation, and leave them exposed to the wind. 6 Seed-box of sacred bean of the sil- ver fir.
