Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs
For the botanists ~   The words are from
Gray's Manual of Botany ~ I had the entire botany class
marching along singing this song while on a field trip.
Oh well,at least I still remember the characteristics
of the family Primulaceae.

To the tune The Ants Go Marching One by One

Herbs with opposite or whorled leaves Hurrah, Hurrah
Flowers five merous the petals united Hurrah, Hurrah
Stamens five and opposite the petals,
Ovary superior, placentation free central,
And the fruit is a capsule in Primulaceae.
