rot, and differs only from that which 
is cultivated in our gardens, in the co- 
lour and fubftance of its root, which 
is the effect of culture. You will find, 
on examination, that it is of the Clafs 
and Order, Pentandria Digynia. Lin- 
nseus's generic character is : Corolla fub- 
radiattf) omnes hermaphrodites. Fruttus 
pills hifpidis : and his fpecific diftinction, 
Se mini bus hifpidis, petiolis fubtus nervofis. 
To this may be added, from Relhan, 
that the flem is fulcated and alfo hifpid ; 
that the general involucrum confifts of 
many pinnatifid leaves; that the um- 
bels have 40 radii, and the umbellulte 30. 
I fee a beautiful blue flower in the border 
of this corn-field, which it would have been 
criminal to overlook, as it is, in its wild 
flate, peculiar to this county. You are well 
acquainted with it as a garden flower. It 
is the garden Larkfpur, but growing wild 
in great abundance, and variety of colour, 
in almoft every part of the extenfive fields 
fouth of Cambridge. The Linnsean name 
is Delphinium confolida, of the Clafs and Or- 
jier Polyandria Trigynia.
