Sentences like this one--though my favorite in all economics--might possibly help explain why he didn't quite get through: "If we are getting restless under the taxonomy of a monocotyledonous wage doctrine and a
cryptogamic theory of interest, with involute, loculicidal, tomentous and moniliform variants, what is the cytoplasm, centrosome or karyokinetic process to which we may turn, and in which we may find surcease from the metaphysics of normality and controlling principles?"
For instance, in the US's desert southwest, mosses, lichens, and soil microorganisms form a fragile crust, known as
cryptogamic soft, which retains water and inhibits erosion in that arid environment.
Crusher describes as a
cryptogamic parasite with telepathic abilities.
Vehicle movement has denuded the area of vegetation other than large ([is greater than] 1 m tall) shrubs and trees and has removed
cryptogamic crust, resulting in compaction of sandy soil into roads, trails, and large open spaces.
In the Annual Announcement for that year he provided a detailed list of the offerings in biology, which included for all freshmen a required half-year course in "Phaenogamic Botany," and for senior students, a half-year course in "
Cryptogamic Botany and Vegetable Physiology" and a half-year course in "Invertebrate Zoology." He continued to offer a full-year course in "Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology" and a half-year course in "Historical and Theoretical Biology," in which, once again, he obviously dealt with the theory of evolution.
In arid environments, cattle have especially insidious effects because they reduce native grasses and their hooves break open the thin
cryptogamic crust that anchors native plants and serves as a protective layer against wind and water erosion.
187 A dark crust, known as
cryptogamic soil, consisting of moss, algae, and lichens, covers the sandy areas of the Arches National Park in Utah (United States).
Central to resource dynamics in many arid ecosystems are microbiotic (
cryptogamic) crusts, consolidated matrices of cyanobacteria, lichens, moss, green algae, and microfungi that cover the soil surface.
