and having no remote flower. Leaves narrow, oblong, and 
hairy. Stem three or four inches high. 
Two other species are mentioned by botanists, but they 
differ so slightly from padustris and arvensis, that I do not 
think them worth mentioning here. The young collector 
may be satisfied with the four described. 
PENTANDRIA. MONOGYNIA. 
COROLLIFLOR. PRIMULACE. 
CYCLAMEN. (CyciamMen.) 
Generic Character. Calyx bell-shaped, divided into five at 
the top. Corolla divided into five segments, which are turned 
back, and stand upright, as the flower is pendulous. 
Most of my readers are acquainted with the garden 
Cyclamen, with its spotted leaves and handsome flowers ; 
those who are, will easily recognize the wild species. 
CycLAMEN HEDERMFOLIUM. Lvy-leaved Cyclamen. Un- 
fortunately rare, and indeed not supposed to be truly wild. 
It is found in thickets and woods. Its leaves are variegated 
with pale and dark green, and the pretty pendulous flowers 
are white or flesh-coloured; the long stalks upon which 
they grow, roll up after flowering, and bury the germen.
