The name Sun-dew, seems to be derived from a very remarkable circumstance in the appearance of 
these plants ; the leaves are covered with hairs supporting small drops or globules of a pellucid liquor- 
like dew, which continue in the hottest part of the day, and in the fullest exposure to the sun. (The 
following appropriate lines occur in a little Botanical Work, entitled the ‘ Wild Garland.’) 
“ By the lone fountain’s secret bed, 
Where human footsteps rarely tread, 
’Mid the wild moor, or silent glen, 
The Sun -DEW blooms unseen by men ; 
Spreads there her leaf of rosy hue, 
A chalice for the morning dew, 
And, ere the summer’s sun can rise, • 
Drinks the pure waters of the skies.”
