| 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. 2 ta 1 AA Py I i oe eee " yO ea)un nl a ay , ie tai Tne TAAL MR ai NVA SCT TN - , tite Ae 5 a ae ie Amey, me map va a Hite, yy " RNS * ea Au i ri ae man AT ot i i i ru y at ney pet an) ite Satat eyy A es \ e}hy? aes me oe ee ss ba = ands NaS peer ‘ afa ” r i PRN rote Man en % ne hs Pit rt f ae Ail Ge } vate ey adNee er rl an Ne A re) Ny at AN bi My WPA Ws y ai i ath eyBY "4 v (vagy a é .

Pr Oe INDIA 6 In entering upon a Seventh Volume of this work, I embrace the opportunity of thankfully acknowledging the increasing favour with which it continues to be received by the Public in general, as well as the particular assistance it every day experiences from those friends of Mr. Sowerby and myself who enrich it by their communications. These > PY 7 e 3 CLT Vee fy 2 communications are indeed so copious, that, from the as © eee aC Me, 5 Pent é Ky Le ro SE OY TN EY limited form of the publication, we find it sometimes impossible to admit them all so early as we could wish, with‘out neglecting more common though perhaps not less interesting or useful subjects. On this point, as well as every other relative to the choice of plants or of matter, we hope those who patronize the work will give us credit for a sincere desire to accommodate all the Students of Indigenous Botany, in their various objects, as much as possible. It is our ambition by degrees to include every vegetable production of Britain, except the Fungi, now Vou. VII.

However averse to literary controversies, being in general e I trust, better employed, I must notice a German review of the third volume of E nglish Botany, in the Goitingische Anzeigen for the 8th of April 1797: this however I should not do, espec ially as it comes from an anonymous hand, did I not find myself in some respects Justly corrected by it.

Ican only say, I wish Englishmen ever to be guided by reason and truth, guarded equally age epee ruption or sophistry at home, and maintaining the dignity of experienced teachers, rather than learners abroad. As to the point in question, the English are neither ignorant nor inattentive. I must claim the honour of having first given an account in this country of the great Hedwig’s discoveries (see Dissertation on the Sexes of Plants, published in 1786, p. 60.), and have, under t. 180 above mentioned, assigned the reasons why I hhesitated about adopting his generic characters, as being almost entirely artificial. More experience may alter my opinion, but hitherto it remains as it was. ‘The German critic complains, that the stalk of Pinguicula lusitanica; t. 145, is not represented hairy.

Such plants as do not properly belong to the Gynandria ought undoubtedly to be removed from thence; but this is no reason why others, as the Orchidee, should not remain there. Above all, the union of Jcosandria with Polyandria is the most,preposterous: and ill-judged attempt that has yet been made upon the Linnzan system. A great deal more might be said upon this subject, and I have often thrown out hints relative to itin the course of the present work. I respect and applaud every step towards a knowledge of natural arrangement, but I most heartily disapprove of every whimsical alteration, in an artificial system that has been found to answer its intended purpose. Who would not thank the writer of a dictionary for every improvement in etymology and the true meaning of words? but who would admire him for deranging the alphabet, jumbling b p and v, c g and k, or perhaps all the vowels together, to accommodate those whose intellects were not competent to count to twenty-four? The work of Dr. Withering, being a book of primary importance, has drawn from me these remarks, he having in his third edition adopted some of the above alterations. I lament the confusion that is thereby introduced, and the still greater which may follow from such an example; but I put in my protest only to be considered, not blindly followed, and I keep my own mind ever open to conviction on this and I hope every subject; for he who does not, deserves no credit for any opinions he may entertain. Pa r Ri A Fy “ae © oa Bid ee OW of that class require to be physiologically and deeply to give up. In other respects he very liberally praises the work, and certainly honours the author by what he has said of him. : The genera of Mosses is but an unimportant point, compared with that on which I am unhappily obliged to dissent:from many most respectable writers, the Reform, as it is called, of the Linnean System. »’ Every young beginner thinks himself a judge of systems, ‘and, as far as they are artificial, every one may easily be so. But, in natural systems, the most experienced, botanist’ can as-yet be but a learner; and rash indeed is that hand which would make an established artificial system abundant! y tess natural than it. was. originally, without rendering eS a IG .

For the dissection of the flower only, which js a little magnified, we have been obliged to have recourse to a garden specimen. The Linnea grows in dry stony mossy woods, flowering in May or June; and, as it has been found in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, and the south of France, it seems wonderful that it should not long ago have been observed in Britain. This discovery, and some others we have of late had the pleastre of announcing, may encourage our domestic botanists to trust that the ardour and accuracy, in which they eminently excel those of most other nations, has not yet received its full reward, and that further acquisitions still remain to be made.

All botanical writers, except Professor Jacquin, make Tragopogon of the neuter gender; but we see no reason why long use should perpetuate so manifest an error, as its derivation, as well as the best authorities, justifies its restoration to the masculine. ae rc si Oe 6 LJ nC ee ier) 1 Cte the summit. se of an i is ee which ie EE flower-stalk, ny naked Po -- into a simple Leaves alternate, sessile, some of equal thickness throughout. them radical, others embracing the stem and branches, carinated, all broad and somewhat inflated at the base, but terminating in a long narrow point very generally the margin towards the bottom is more or less waved or crisped.

Dr. Withering has lately introduced the Epimedium into his work on the authority of Dr. Richardson, who is said in Blackstone’s Specimen Botanicum to have found it in Bingley Woods, Yorkshire, and of Mr. Robson, who lately obtained a specimen from Skiddaw., We think therefore there can be no further doubt upon the subject. It is probable that this plant, curious and beautiful as it is, may have generally escaped notice, from flowering early in the spring, after which its leaves soon wither away, before the wild bushy places it inhabits are commonly visited by botanists. Root perennial, slender, creeping. Stems upright, scarcely a‘foot high, round, smooth, simple, bearing one alternately branched upright panicle of dark red drooping flowers, and one large twice or thrice compound leaf, divided in a threefold Oe Tae first information we had of this as a British production was from Thomas Gisborne, Esq. of Yoxall Lodge, Staffordshire, who about six or seven years ago received a living plant collected by Mr. Thomas Hutton some time be- eiee??s, OMIOY ea ON LOY al cae OL Cuar.
