The Enchanter’s Nightshade (Page 21) and the Alpine En- 
chanter’s Nightshade resemble each other very closely, and are 
quite distinct in appearance from any other flower. The latter is 
smaller and less branched. 
The Whorled Caraway (Page 22) is only found in the Western 
Counties, but in great profusion where it does occur. The thread- 
like leaves, resembling asparagus, which may be seen in the photo- 
graph, make this plant quite unique in appearance among the 
Utnbellifercp. 
No one need have any difflculty in identifying the Honeysuckle 
(Page 23), Yellow Bedstraw (Page 24), Devil’s-bit Scabious 
(Page 25), Sea Starwort (Page 26), Sneeze-wort Yarrow (Page 
27), Fever-few (Page 28), Burdock (Page 29), or Knapweed 
(Page 30). In the case of the Scabious the 4-cleft corolla 
distinguishes it from the 5-cleft corolla of the Scabiosa Columbaria, 
and the corolla, 5-cleft, to the base, of Jasione montana. 
The Thistles are difficult, owing to the numerous hybrids which 
are to be found, but the illustrations of the Spear Plume Thistle 
(Page 31) and the Marsh Plume Thistle (Page 32), both very 
commion species, should, if carefully examined, give considerable 
certainty in the identification of these two at least. 
The Common Nipplewort (Page 33) has flowers like miniature 
dandelions. 
The Annual Sowthistle (Page 34), Hare-bell (Page 35), and 
Giant Bell-flower (Page 36), are sufficiently described. 
The Heaths and Heather (Pages 37-39) are known to’everyone, 
though not the fact that there are two quite distinct species of the 
common Heath. A careful examination of the two photographs on 
pages 37 and 38 will show the differences better than any description. 
The Sea Pink (Page 40) is common at the sea-side, the Privet 
(Page 41) in hedge-rows everywhere. 
The Common Comfrey (Page 42) has a near neighbour in the 
Tuberous Comfrey. The latter has a yellowish white flower, and 
is a smaller plant, without the broadly winged stem of the former. 
The MyosoHs tribe (Pages 43, 44) is a difficult one even to experts. 
Myosotis paluxttis and Myosotis ccespitosa are the only species which 
frequent wet places, and have bright glossy leaves. The other four 
species Myosotis sylvatica, arvensis, collina, and versicolor are 
found in dry spots. 
The Great Bindweed (Page 45) is distinguished from the Small 
Bindweed by the large leaf-like bracts enclosing the calyx, shown 
in the photograph, and from the Seaside Convolvulus by its 
arrow-shaped leaves, the leaves of the last-named being kidney- 
shaped or roundish. 
The Bitter-Sweet (Page 46^ is distinguished from the Black 
Nightshade, the flowers of which are always white, by the ears at 
the base of some of its leaves, among other differences. Except for 
Ihe flowers, the general appearance of the two plants is quite 
distinct.
