| Summary: | James Sowerby was an English naturalist, illustrator and mineralogist. He studied painting at the Royal Academy in London. This is the second of his illustrated volumes of English botany, issued in parts from 1790 to 1814. The work is in thirty-six volumes with more than twenty-five hundred hand-colored plates. An enormous number of plants were to receive their first formal publication within this work, but the authority for these came from the initially unattributed text written by James Edward Smith. seu te) oh: pertain ae ae “Tih TWa ear, : ste wi een ages ae ae a eat myn Ye woveneee Ca U .

Syn. 367. £ i eS ONE of our rarer English plants, for which we are obliged to the Rev. Mr. Abbot of Bedford and the Rev. Mr. Hemsted of Newmarket. It grows in pits and ditches which are partly ried up, or in places where water has stagnated during winter. The root is annual, tapering, and not much branched. Stems several; the principal erect, often branched; lateral ones spreading and curved upwards; all square, purplish, smooth, clothed with numerous, alternate, smooth, entire, linear-lanceolate leaves, some of which now and then approach to an elliptical figure. Flowers solitary, axillary, sessile, delicate and short-lived, appearing in July, purple, and of a regular figure, as we think all true species of Lythrum ought to be, though Linnzus has admitted some with very unequal petals. They have generally 12 teeth to the calyx, alternately erect and spreading, 6 petals, and as many stamina; but some flowers have only 10 teeth, 5 petals and 5 stamina, or (as Linneus says) exclude a sixth part of the natural number in their fructification.

Lichen glomuliferus is found on the trunks of trees in old mountainous woods in England, Scotland, and Wales, very abundantly in Colonel Johnes’s woods at Hafod, where ours was gathered.

The fruit of this tree ripens late in autumn, panicles of brown punctated berries, larger than those of the Hawthorn, which, when the frost has touched them, are of an exceedingly pleasant acid flavour, and are sometimes sold in the London fruit-shops. They are esteemed strengthening to thestomach and bowels. Old Tragus, whose figures and their accompaniments sometimes express the virtues of plants with more truth than decorum, gives a ludicrous exhibition of two ittle boys under this kind of Service tree, p- 1010, in order to illustrate its (apparently very powerful) effects in expelling worms, fe wy Nl w we ~ Ot) ms ¥ NY AS ~ 9) mt ny AY ae AS KC © oew es DAS DG 0D: WAS) \\ XY A os Tus tree is most frequent in the north-west and midland counties, though also found here and there in Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. We received it wild from Mr. Woodward. _ It is of considerable size, but of slow growth, and the wood is consequently hard. The bark is smooth and ash-coloured. Young branches green and slightly downy, clothed with alternate handsome smooth leaves, of a firm not succulent substance, always more or less accurately 7-lobed, reticulated with small veins, serrated, deciduous. Flowers numerous, in large terminal cymose panicles, appearing early in May; their flowerstalks and calyx downy; petals cream-coloured; styles 3, 4, or 5, and the seeds in proportion, an instance (among many others) how very ill-founded the orders and genera are of Linneus’s Icosandria Digynia, Trigynia, and Pentagynia, as Faller and his disciples long ago contended. y Wibbes . te hr Cie i . midddddd a.
