___Collecting Plants _ -A tall plant may be taken in sections laid in several successive sheets. [f.] Senecio no. 13,180 Plants must be studied in the field, not merely collected; studied in order that collecting may be significant, that collecting may be really illuminative of field work. Pieces of plants broken off at random do not represent collecting. Intelligent and critical observations with real objects in view should be the students aim, not should be the things held in the mind, as I say, merely to collect, but to study plants.
