Fantastic Botany Poem, please read!

 

"I am strongly induced to believe that as in music, the person who understands every note, if he also possesses a proper taste, more thoroughly enjoy the whole, so he who examines each part of a fine view, may also thoroughly comprehend the full and combined effect.  Hence, a traveler should be a botanist, for in all views plants form the chief embellishment."  Charles Darwin, The Voyage of the Beagle
