MIGNONNETTE FAMILY. 



The VII Order, contains but one Genus, and 

 3 Species; one of which is so similar to a species so 

 generally cultivated so universal a favourite in gar- 

 den and pot, that few will see the wild mignonnette 

 without readily guessing its name. Beseda Lutea, 

 is its botanical name : it is only to be met with on 

 chalky hills, and waste places. 



The common DYER'S ROCKET (K. Luteola) requires 

 the same soil, and is very similar in appearance but 

 not sweet-scented; nor are the flowers so yellow as 

 the first species, but it is the favourite flower with 

 bees, as it has a large nectary, green on the upper 

 side of the flower. It yields an " useful yellow dye 

 for woollen stuffs."
