And. possibly because it bore the stamp, Made
In Germany" his was the more widely &C
cepted of the two systems for some years.
Hence, the huttercup battle.
Neither mans system of flower classification
was wholly original. DR.. Bessey based his
system largely on work done in the nineteenth
century by George Bentham and Sir Joseph
Hooker IN England. Prof EngIer built on a
foundation laid by fellow German A. W.
Eichler, in 1888 Both systems have been
modified somewhat since by other botanists
But the two men, Bessey and Engler have
been leaders for years of the opposing schools
Of plant classification
CINCE DR.. Bessey's death, in 1915, his work
- has been carried on by other Americans.
One of his students, DR. Raymond j. Pool is
now his successor as chairman of the Nebras-
ka University department of botany, and DR..
Pool, smiling, modest white haired scholar
can smilingly report:
"Besseys system is becoming more generally
used every year"
Searchers and researchers in recent wears
have unearthed evidence which, DR.. Pool ex-
plains makes the Engler classification mo
longer tenable"
Fossils Of primitive seed plants have been
found, for instance which indicate that perfect
flowers evolved from certain higher fern types
OF vegetation in distant geological time, long
before there were imperfect flowers Espe-
c1ally important among these findings are
American fossil cycads discovered in South Da-
kota and Wyoming and studied by Prof. F. r.
Wieland of Yale University
In the light of this and other new infor-
nation, scientists are swinging toward the Bes-
sey brand Of classification. The famous Brit
lsh botanist, Mr.. j. Hutchinson of the Royal
Botanical Gardens in Kew, England, indicates
clearly in a recent book that he favors
system such as Bessey's. And the American
Association for the Advancement of Science
Just this Spring placed a list of treatises
which 1t recommends to science and to the
public as authoritative works DR.. Pools Flow
ers and Flowering Plants" in which he COM
2ares the two systems and upholds expands and
illustrates his predecessors for the first time
In an extensive treatment.
Only the reluctance of some botanists to
substitute new and more accurate tools for
those with which they are more familiar ac-
counts for what continued use there Is of
Engler's system, DR.. Pool believes.
IN the Bessey family tree of flowers, as
~ presented by Dr. Pool, IN addition to the
lines indicating descent, there are cross lines
Evening star., 1932-08-14

which show similarities between individual
families of flowers ON different limbs of the
great tree. These make the chart appear even
more complicated than strange road map to
one unacqua1nted with the details involved in
the nature and work of flowers
But to a scientist the flower chart is far
more valuable than a road map is to a mo-
tor1st. DR.. Pool believes that this schematic
chart may come to have as important place
In botany as the great periodic table of the
elements has in chemistry
The periodic table is a chart in which the
elements of matter making up the earth are
grouped in certain sets of SERIES When it
was prepared several blank spaces had to be
left, because elements of the sort needed to
complete some of these series were not known
By study of the table, however, chemists be-
came convinced that such elements must exist.
and they described them and predicted their
discovery long before it took place TODAY
nearly all of these elements have been found
tulf1ll1ng the prophecies made by means of the
table
Can the Towering plant chart be used
likewise to predict the existence of plants not
yet known?' DR.. Pool was asked
Il think it is safe to say that it can" he re-
Piled. Then he proceeded to explain that while
little such forecasting is being done Just vet all
the nower1ng plants discovered in recent wears
have fitted into the Bessey plan as readily as
those known when Bessey first prepared it, It
Is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that as bo-
tanlcal knowledge increases, scientists will be
able to use the chart in somewhat the same
manner that the chemical table has been used
University of Nebraska botanists have even
worked out series of symbols for the different
sets OF flowers to facilitate such study. These
symbols look like chemical formulae to the lay
man, and they show the composition and ma
ture of the flowers just as the chemical symbols
do for matter.
BY studying the significant portions of the
blossoms and the placing of the flowers on the
family tree it may some day be possible to de-
eide just where new twig or species is likely
to be shooting off and what it will be like be-
lore it is ever seen in nature.
THE Towering plants are rapidly expand
ing and evolving group" according to DR.. Pool
Their variety is tremendous. Some have de-
generated until they live the life Of a mildew or
toadstool while others nave progressed far
that they have even developed sorts of mouths
with which they trap and devour little animals,
just as do big animals"

duced in a single bloom. In others the stamens
appear in one blossom and the pistils in an
other of the same plant; in still others tha
Stamens are in flowers of one plant and the
pistils in flowers Of other, separate plants-juss
as there are two sexes among the higher ami
mails.
The buttercups of today, according to the
family tree drawn up by American botanists,
are simply those descendants of the Eve of
flowers who have stayed strictly at home The
lilies, the roses and the geraniums are the
daughters of the buttercup Eve that have pro-
vided the principal lines of plant descent
Conversion of some of Ewes offspring into
lilies probably required innumerable genera
tionS. The true lilies it is believed developed
their beauty as a means of advertising them
selves to the insects who helped in the bring
ing of the stamens and pistils together for the
purpose OF reproduction Some lilies lost out
in this prehistoric beauty contest and did the
best they could under the circumstances; they
set their caps for the wind and fitted themselves
for mating with its assistance rather than with
the insects and thus the palms and grasses were
evolved. The latter undoubtedly are mans
most valuable plants.
important branch of the flower family tree was
short step, as you can see by comparing Ger
tain primitive roses with the buttercup. From
this branch of the family tree have come the
Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries; the
apples, pears, plums and apricots; the asters
sunfowers and dandelions; the walnuts and
naples; the box elders birches and alders.
The geranium is sort of granddaughter of
the flowers Eve, the mallow having place be-
tween it and the buttercup And from the ge-
ranium have come the pinks and prinroses, the
heaths and phloxes, the mints and snapdragon5.
The development of flower children under the
guiding hand of Nature is still going on; and
now man, having learned how she operates to
produce changes, is able sometimes to speed up
the process under the compulsion of human
need.

So, though the buttercup battle NAV seem
at first glance to the average non-scientifc re--
son trivial, silly debate. it is actually frauebt
with scientific importance.

u of two institutions, the University OF
Y Nebraska and the University of Ber-
lin, have been engaged in friendly
but spirited contest about which cheer leaders,
students and alumni generally have been as
blissfully ignorant as the pretty little flowers
themselves. However, leaders in the scientific
world have watched intently and now are de-
Gliding in favor Of the Americans.
1t happens that in the kingdom of vegeta-
bes there are four main divisions, of which
the lowest in the evolutionary scale are the
seaweeds and their kin; next come the MOSES,
then the ferns and finally the Towering plants.
OF the latter, more than 10000 species
known to science, but which of these are the
lowest and which the highest has been the
issue in the Nebraska Berlin debate.
The Towering plants range from tiny disks
floating on water to agricultural grains and
fruits which furnish mans staff of life, and
on to the gigantic trees of the jungles. With
each the blossom bears the means of repro
duction. When the blossom has four regu-
lar parts, sepals petals, stamens and pistils,
botanists speak of the structure as a COM
plete flower. When one or of these
parts is missing or modified the flower is con-
sidered incomplete imperfect.
THE American Midwest's most eminent
] botanist, the late DR.. Charles Edwin Bes-
citation for the Advancement of Science, taught
that the perfect flowers came first and that
the imperfect and incomplete ones evolved
later. He suggested a plan of classification
in which about 100 families are shown in
what he believed to be their relationships to
each other.
At the trunk of this great family tree OF
the flowers he placed the perfect ones. OF
these, the buttercup is typical and familiar
example. Dr. Frederic E. Clements, one of
Besseys pupils and former member of the
University Of Nebraska faculty, goes so far
as to call the buttercup the Eve" of all
flowers.
But while DR. Bessey tracing flower
genealogy thus in America, Prof. Adolph En-
gler of the University Of Berlin was preparing
another system of plant classification. The
main difference between the Engler and Bes-
sey classifications is that Engler indicates that
the imperfect and incomplete flowers came
hrst, and that the perfect and complete ones
evolved from them through the centuries.
Prof Engler presented his system in great
