AMONG THE WILD FLOWEES 
Tit. 
Two very interesting specimens may be found 
screening themselves from the winds of March, 
but in very different situations,—the Golden 
Saxifrage, Chrysosplenium oppositifolium, and 
the Tuberous Moschatel, Adoxa Moschatellina; 
the former on moist ditch-banks and by runnels 
of water, quite common, but not the less pretty, 
its level heads of flowers looking as though 
gold-dust had been sprinkled on the green 
flowers, and readily attracting attention. 
There is an alternate-leafed species also, very 
rare. The latter plant, 4doxa, a name which 
means wezthout glory, or inconspicuous, is much 
less common, and might be overlooked a 
hundred times by an unpractised eye, as it 
mingles its leaves and flowers, which are alike 
of a delicate pale green, with the faded leaves
