78 AMONG THE WILD FLOWERS. 
pale-green plant in banks, with bright yellow 
flowers of four petals and long narrow pod, 
is Chelidonium majus, one of the PAPAVERACEA, 
Poppy family; all parts of this plant are full 
of an orange juice. Of this Nat. Ord. you may 
find ere long, besides the several species of 
scarlet Poppy, Papaver, Glauctum luteum, the 
Horned Poppy of the sea-shore, and the yellow 
Welsh Poppy, JZeconopsis cambrica, a genus by 
itself, rare, but sowing itself freely in garden 
rockeries. The garden Fschscholtzza is of this 
Order, remarkable for the dilated apex of the 
peduncle from which the calyx separates when 
the petals expand, in a form, calyftra, like an 
extinguisher. 
Veronica Beccabunga, Brooklime, Nat. Ord. 
ScROPHULARIACE, now displays its pretty ra- 
cemes of small bright blue flowers, or sometimes 
pink, in ditches and small streams ; and another 
Speedwell, V. polita, in fields and waste places, 
with wholly blue but small flowers, and capsule 
of 2 turgid lobes, leaves falling short of the 
peduncles. V. agrestzs, as mentioned in Paper 
V., has the lower corolla-lip white; V. arvenszs 
has the leaves bract-like and exceeding the 
flowers, which are’paler than in /. poltta.
