Glaucus is a mixture of blue and green. When it is a still 

 clearer green^ it is called oeruginosus. Prasinus is a slight 

 variety of it, with which a little ash-grey is mixed. 



A dusky green, mixed with brown, forms the olive-green 



III. The Surjace of the Parts. 

 > ■ 24., 



The surface of the parts has sometimes no covering, and 

 no prominent substances. It is then called even (Icevis). A 

 higher degree of this evenness is denominated shining- (wi^i- 

 dus: The higliest degree, which exhibits the surface as a 

 mirror, is called lucid or splenderit (lucidus, s^plendens) ; and 

 when there is at the same time a gloss upon the part, it is 

 said to be verrucosus. Opake (opacus) is the opposite of 

 lucid, as.it is also of transparent, (23.) 



The want of hairs, or of substances resembling hairs, con- 

 stitutes the surface smooth (glaber.) The term nudus is also 

 used, to express the want of hairs or of a covering. 



Surfaces that are uniformly even are called cequabiles : 

 those that are not uniform, but which have prominences and 

 hollows, although they are at the same time smooth, are said 

 to be mcequahiles.

With respect to the hairs in particular, they are in general 

 called pubes, and pubescens denotes a gentle and almost indis- 

 tinguishable covering of hairs. Soft {mollis, mollissimus) is 

 nearly the same. 



If the hairs are soft, somewhat long and bent, the covering 

 is said to be pilosus ; but it is denominated villosus or shag- 

 gy, when the soft hairs stand parallel and erect. 



When the hairs, again, have other hairs attached to them, 

 the idea of plumes is generated (plumosus). In Hieracium 

 undulatum. Ait. the whole surface is covered with these. In 

 Dampiera, R. Bri the hairs of the whole are plumose.
