Leaves alternate, on rather slender petioles, smooth, without any 
mealiness, veiny, broad, somewhat triangular, taper-pointed, with 
2 or 3 broad angular teeth on each side, heart-shaped, or egg- 
shaped, not elongated at the base. Petioles shorter than the leaves, 
convex on the under, and furrowed on the upper side. Flowers 
inconspicuous, in axillary and terminal, somewhat cymose, slender, 
divaricated, leafless panicles. Calyx divided nearly to the base 
into 5 egg-shaped, bluntish, mealy, segments, which are mem- 
branous at the edges. Corolla none. Seed round, flattened, of a 
dark chesnut colour, with silvery white dots. 
The leaves of this species very much resemble those of the Thorn 
Apple ( Datura stramonium , t. 121.y It has a strong and dis- 
agreeable smell, and is, by some authors, suspected to be poisonous. 
Tracus mentions it as a plant fatal to swine. 
Mr. W. Pamplin, jun. remarks, that in the Lavender-Hill Nur- 
sery, Wandsworth, it occasionally varies with the stems, petioles, 
and veins of the leaves, of a rich purple colour. 
AUTUMN. 
“ Sweet Sabbath of the year, while evening lights decay. 
Thy parting steps methinks I hear steal from the world away. 
Amid thy silent bowers ’tis sad, but sweet, to dwell, 
Where falling leaves and drooping flowers around me breathe farewell. 
Along thy sunset skies their glories melt in shade, 
And, like the things we fondly prize, seem lovelier as they fade, 
A deep and crimson streak thy dying leaves disclose ; 
As, on Consumption’s waning cheek, ’mid ruin, blooms the rose. 
Thy scene each vision brings of beauty in decay ; 
Of fair and early faded things, too exquisite to say ; — 
Of joys that come no more ; of flowers whose bloom is fled ; 
Of farewells wept upon the shore; of friends estranged or dead : — 
Of all that now may seem, to Memory’s tearful eye, 
The vanished beauty of a dream, o’er which we gaze and sigh.”
