[ Cyclamen. 
stance on the leaves, scape, and calyx, has a musky smell. Flowers 
pale lilac-purple, with a yellow eye. 
5. P. Scotica Hook. ( Scottish P .) ; leaves obovato-lanceolate 
mealy denticulate, calyx ventricose, limb of the corolla flat, its 
mouth glandular, the segments broadly obcordate approximate 
half the length of the tube. E. B. S. t. 2608. 
North coast of Caithness. Frequent also on the north coast of 
Sutherland, and in the Orkney Islands, growing upon the sandy 
shores. If.. 7 To us this appears a distinct species, but M. Duhy 
and Mr. Bentham are of a contrary opinion. It is not half the 
size of the preceding, but has a stouter habit. Flowers deep bluish- 
purple, with a yellow eye. In P. farinosa, the germen is broadly' 
obovate and the stigma capitate ; here the germen is globose, and the 
stigma has 5 points. 
3. Cyclamen Linn. Sow-bread. 
Cal. campanulate, half 5-cleft. Cor. rotate ; the mouth pro- 
minent, the segments reflexed. Stamens 5, included. Caps., 
globose, 1-celled, opening with 5 teeth. — Named from kvkXoq 
a circle; probably from the circles formed by the spiral pedun- 
cles : in French pain de porceau, and in English sow-bread; 
because the large tuberous roots are eagerly sought by swine, 
notwithstanding their highly acrid nature. 
1. C. *hedercef6lium Willd. ( Sow-bread ) ; leaves heart-shaped 
angular finely toothed their ribs and footstalks roughish, tube 
of the corolla globose, mouth 5-angled “with lunulate 10- 
toothed sides.” C. Europaeum Sm. : E. B. t. 548. 
On a bank at Bramfield, Suffolk; near Sandhurst (in profusion), and 
Goudhurst, Kent; Sussex; Pembroke; Notts (plentiful). If.. 9 
Leaves springing from the top of the large tuberous under-ground 
stem. Cor. white or flesh-coloured. Scapes spirally twisted after 
flowering, so as to bury the seed-vessels in the earth. Probably some 
of the above stations may belong to C. Europaeum, as suggested by 
Mr. H. Watson ; our own specimens indeed are too few and imper- 
fect to permit us to ascertain correctly the species. But the whole 
genus is a southern and eastern one, not even occurring in the Flora 
of Paris ; and none of the species can have any claims to be admitted 
as indigenous, if indeed any can properly be said to be naturalized 
in this country. 
4. Glaux Linn. Sea-Milkwort. 
Cal. campanulate, coloured, of 1 piece, 5-lobed. Cor. none. 
Stain. 5, glabrous. Caps, superior, globose, 5-valved, with about 
5 seeds. — Name; yXau?, a plant so called from its colour being 
yXavicog or sea-green.
