English botany, or, coloured figures of British plants, with their essential characters, synonyms, and places of growth. Volume 1

James Sowerby was an English naturalist, illustrator and mineralogist. He studied painting at the Royal Academy in London. This is the first 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.

It may not however be improperto fay fomething of its intention and plan. A knowledge of the plants of our own countryis in many refpects preferable to that of exotics, as it can be ES { | much more completely attained, and is on feveral accounts more directly ufeful. Nor are the humble produétions of our fields and woods deficient in real beauty, elegance, or fingularity of ftructure, in which re{pects fome of them indeed vie with the moft favourite exotics. ‘Not to mention the indifpenfable neceffity for thofe, who are occupied with the rural ceconomyof Ce neeee >) eee any country, to be well acquainted with its native vegetables; the ftudy of them, as a mere amufement, has this eminent advantage over exotic botany, that it Z doubles the pleafure of every journey or walk, and calls forth to healthy exercife the bodily as well as the mental :Fj powers; while perfons who know no fuch purfuits either facrifice their health to fedentary employments, or are content to fubmit, without an object, and without enjoyment, to toil and labour for exercife, and for exercife alone.

It is true indeed that moft of our native vegetables are already figured in fome book or other, and thofe books are quoted by our fyftematic writers; but, not to mention frequent miftakes in fuch citations, the ftudy of the al ee _——ry Englifh botany on this plan could not be attempted without a collection of all the books, however voluminous and expenfive, that treat of European plants: fo > that, whatever might be thoughtof a very large and expenfive work of figures ofall the plants of Great Britain, it is hoped the prefent reafonable and commodious publication will by no means be confidered as a burthen on the public. Toavoid that imputation as much as poffible, the author has in his letter-prefs declined copying what others have faid,; and means in general only to refer to the moft popular and ufeful deicriptive and fyftematic ks, as the Species Plantarum of Linnzeus, andthe Floras of Hudfon, Curtis, Lightfoot, Wither, Relhan, Ray, &c. He will fpare no pains to have is botanical characters and fynonyms accurate; and as Fied : is fo fortunate as to have accefs to the firft fources of formation, he hopes this part of his plan will be exe- uted fo as to deferve approbation, and alfo that in his lr h . fF j rks lomet ‘ -s have have an < yppor ] ofc prepre i he mayriy fometimes opportunity et eshe ther new. 1Aor Chee hee SOW INDIA Om ei eeCBtediedSCheedCie OeOeioecharityaOitatask Mie xaGlia OSoaoa = te *®)ahs wy %.

Wetherefore retain the Linnzan denomination, though not a very expreflive one; as we are affured by Dr. Smith that it :é is undoubtedly the plant intended by Linnzus, and which he called vagans (wandering), becaufe found in fo manydifferent , and remote countries, as Africa, France, and other parts of fi the South of Europe; to which we now add our own kingdom, : as a further apology for the name. The Cornifh Heath is not unfrequent,in the botanic gardens about London, where it grows freely, and looks well.

I N {peaking of the Primrofe we have already mentioned its affinity to this plant; one circumftance is however remarkable in the Cowllip, a contraction towards the middle of its leaves, which is not feen in the former. The Gowllip is nearly as com~ mon, and flowers at the fame time: it prefers a clay foil, and generally an open fituation. Cowllip flowers are fragrant, and make a pleafant wine, approaching in flavour tothe Mufcadel wines of the South of France. The leaves of this plant and the Primrofe are faid to afford nourifhment to filk-worms: but thofe animals are fo very delicate, and the quality of their filk is fo apt to be injured by the moft trifling caufes, that they are feldom found worthcultivating as an article of commerce, unlefs fed with the beft and moft healthy leaves of the White Mulberry (Morus alba). It is however an objeét worthy of the curiofity of thofe who breed them for amufement, to try what kinds of food may beft be fubftituted in the place of their natural aliment, whena backward {pring retards the growth of the Mulberry leaves. oo. kMinasahinbianh iinMinssak shs ihak 8Me hk cnaSA ied aPan rwADM aea Resse Me R osES tic P fta A siha LA OM aA ine EOL AS ie 3 Fy : * Hy U) vd f H x al a é Ks RG.DRC” .oeOe DeceeORNSSeeeSeo Riees Cli a eoNesiedSail his 05, 9%, ‘aeA Se ea aA eCS pe Clieeea 86 OKC idDcCai m7 fas Rr \ Bie PRIMULA farinofa. 7 Mona 7) ao " to BEaa esaria ieeeches aS sigecliciacan iMine si ee aE Bird’s-Eye Primrofe.

It is much lefs common than feveral others of this genus. As thereis another fpecies of Britifh Orchis which is generally known by thetitle of Man-Orchis (and whichwill hereafter be figured in the prefent work), we have thought it better to apply the term Military to this fpecies, taken from the Latin name, which has been given on account of the refemblance which the upperpart of the flower bears to a helmet. > sss EBy oe Fy ot ae 7. a> r a a REG T__ ngDIGoo MeAEG aS DAES Mg DRGDRS DGeSDS" lllKy confluent.

It is generally planted in fhrubberies for ornament as well as ufe, the fruit being frequently introduced into pickles and preferves, on account of its {trong and grateful acidity, of which the leaves alfo partake with a mixture ofaftringency. Two circumftances inthehiftory of this thrub deferve particular attention. Inthe firft place, its ftamina exhibit perhaps the moft remarkable inftance ofirritability hitherto difcovered in vegetables ; becaufe we perceive at once the purpofe it is intended to anfwer. The bafes of the filaments are fo fenfible to the touch of any extraneous body,that they immediately contrat, with precipitation, and throw the pollen on the {tigma ; and this contraélionis capable of being repeated feveral times. See Mr. Whately’s remark in the Bot. Arr. and Dr. Smith’s paper in the Philofophical Tranfa€tions for 1788, StebeeenOnRE Berry with two p- 158. The other circumftance to which weallude is, its reputed hoftility to corn, the ears of which, in its neighbourhood, are faid always to prove abortive. ‘This, if true, is one of the moft wonderful properties that any plant ever poflefled, and is totally unaccountable. We have it on fuch good authority, that we could not avoid mentioning the report; but onthe other hand we have as goodreafons for withholding our affent. Monf.

Mr. Lightfoot, and fome other botanifts. The flowers appear in July, andare highly fragrant. The whole hiftory of this fpecies in Englith writers is a heap of confufion. Dr. Stokes alone has formed any tolerable conjectures on the fubjeét. The error originated with Linnus, who quoted Dillenius’s excellent figure (Hort. Elth. t. 298, f. 385.) as a variety of his D. virgineus, with which it has no affinity. Mr. Hudfon unluckily increafed the confufion, by taking it for D. glaucus. We are happy to clear upthe point by means of wild and original {fpecimens, andto give, from Dr. Smith’s manufcripts, a new {pecific character, which, if attended to, will be found abundantly fufficient to diftinguith this from every other Dianthus hitherto known. The trivial name cafius is taken from the character given by Dillenius, andalludes to the blueith greenof the leaves.

It grows in a bed of good mould, above the chalk, the roots lying feveral inches below the furface, and flowers in April. The circumftances moft remarkable about this fpecies, and which abundantly diftinguifh it from the garden Tulipa Gefneriana, are the narrow leaves, the nodding flower, the hairinefs at the bafe of the ftamina, and onthe tips ofthe petals, and efpecially the fimple obtufe form of the ftigma, which is totally different from that of the gardentulip. ‘The flower DEGDGEG) (Pw e as Stamina hairy near the bafe, Syn.

Ee ‘SeOK Oe] TOeeheerOR ye’ODCee A NATIVE of turfy bogs on the north fide of Norwich, and in fome other parts of England; communicated from the neighbourhood of Potton, Bedfordfhire, by the Rev. Mr. Charles Abbot of Bedford. It flowers in July, and is the {malleft Britith plant of this tribe. However averfe to unneceflary innovation, it is impofhible to refufe our affent to the eftablifhment of this genus as chara€terifed by Dr. Swartz; happy wouldit be if every genus in Orchidex were as clear. Yet it appears that able botanift has not paid due attention to the corolla being reverfed (refupinata) ; the oddpetal (of the three external ones) being the lowermoft (1), which is what has hitherto been erroneoufly called the lip. The moft ftriking character of Malaxis confits therefore in the two erect petals at the top (2) inftead of the folitary one of all other Orchidex, at leaft the European ones. The nectary (3) moreover points upward, and embraces and their the ftamina andftyle. No. 4 reprefents the {tamina Vo als DKSDEC: cover feparated, and much more magnified than the other parts. Tothis g enus certainly belongs Ophrys monophyllos Linn. but furely Dr. Swartz is mi ftaken in referring to it alfo O. lilifolia and Loefelii (fee our ta b. 47), which refemble it in : habit only.
