perennis (several school-girls at Paulton). See

LITTLE PEEP-Bo (or LITTLE PEEPER). The 
Scarlet Pimpernel, Anagallis arvensis (Dowlish 
Wake). No doubt from the way in which it opens

SHEPHERD’s BAROMETER.

this as a local name for one of the St. John’s

Worts, but usually to the common one, H. 
perforatum.

Bradford-on-Tone school-girl).
