The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University
is the most famous in North America
and is widely known throughout the scientific world.
In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass
the work of two artist--naturalists
Leopold Blaschka and his sone Rudolph.
The intention was to have the collection represent
as least one member of each flower family native to the United States
Although it was never completed
it contains more than seven hundred species
representing 164 families of flowering plant
a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus disease
and thousands of flower parts and exaggerated detail
Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure
The models are kept in locked cases
as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use.

16.What was the goal of Leopole and Rudolph Blaschka?
17.Which of the following is not included
