SYSTEMATIC INDEX. 



In this Index I have arranged our Plants after the method followed by 

 Fries, because the Orders and Genera do not follow the same sequence they 

 do in the " British Flora," and in the " Manual of British Botany," — works 

 which are, probably, in the hands of every student of our indigenous Botany.

■ * I have already noticed the abundance of this plant in the pasture-fields 

 about the limeworks of Lowick and Bowsden ; but to-day (June 27) I 

 was struck with the pai-tiality of its distribution. While the grounds sur- 

 rounding some of them were absolutely white vrith the large flowers that 

 waved before the gentle wind, the very similar grounds about others had 

 not a single plant. This was the case especially with the works on the 

 road-side a little north of that which leads to Bowsden. The adjacent 

 ground was, however, so very richly coloured, and so pleasant to the eye, 

 that I was induced to examine the plants that made the vegetation, and it 

 consisted of the following common species, arranged in the order of what 

 seemed to be their predominance : — Lotus comiculatus, Trifolium glome- 

 ratum, Crepis virens, Festuca duriuscula, Trifolium praten.se et repens, 

 Tussilago farfara, in leaf, Equisetum arvense, Apargia hispida, Anthyllis 

 vulneraria, Linum catharticum, Cnicus arvensis, not in flower, Plantago 

 lanceolata, and DactyUs glomerata. A group of commoner things could 

 scarcely be got together, and yet the result was beautiful. 



t A lady herbahst gives the following receipt " for a delicate stomach " : 



" The Hundred-leaved Clover to be eaten with other salad, and a milk 



diet observed." — She also testifies to the benefit of a Groundsel poultice 

 in sprains. Perhaps she got her knowledge of this from Culpepper. Yet 

 the Groundsel is a plant that merits further inquiry as to its properties, 

 which seem to be of a most active nature.
