“The appearance of Dr Moss’s work has been anticipated by British botanists with the greatest interest; not only to them does it appeal, for its completeness and attention to detail entitle it to rank among works of Continental importance. The Cambridge University Press has been fortunate in securing the services of Dr Moss, than whom no one more competent for the task could be found. By a combination as admirable as it is rare, Dr Moss is at once an acute field botanist, a diligent investigator of herbaria, and a student of botanical literature.... Mr Hunnybun’s drawings are all made from living plants, so that the work may be regarded as representing more fully than has been hitherto done our knowledge of British Botany at the present day.”—Journal of Botany.

FOOTNOTES:
[ [1] This idea of a selectivity of the roots has been recently revived by [Colin and Lavison (1910)] who found that when peas were grown in the presence of barium, strontium or calcium salts no trace of barium could be found in the stem, strontium only occurred in small quantities, while calcium was present in abundance. They concluded that apparently salts of the two latter alkaline metals could be absorbed by the roots and transferred to the stem and other organs, but that this is not the case with salts of barium. They obtained similar results with other plants, beans, lentils, lupins, maize, wheat, hyacinth. Their proof is not rigid, and exception could be taken to it on chemical grounds.
