HEPTANDRIA. 

 CLASS VII. 



SEVEN STAMINA. 

 This Class has four Orders. 



ORDER I. 



CHICK-WEED WINTER-GREEN, is found monogi 



in dry woods and turfy heaths in the north of Eng- 1 



land, but more particularly in Scotland. It is a plant 

 chiefly confined to the most northern regions. I have, 

 however, seen it grow very flourishingly in a garden 

 at Clapham. 



Linnaeus was exceedingly delighted when he dis- 

 covered it in his Lapland tour, probably from its being 

 the only Lapland plant of the seventh class, serving to 

 complete the uniformity of his system. This is a very 

 small Class, and the Trientalis is the only Genus we 

 have in it, of which there is but this one species. The 

 Horse-chesnut-tree is also of this Class; though, 

 now common throughout England, it is a native of 

 Mount Pindus, in Greece.
