near the top ; when placed near the bottom, the style of the pisfillum, With it's 
stigma, rises without interruption between the stamina, so as to be equal with the 
mouth of the tube, and sometimes higher; this by florists is called piriveyed , and 
considered as an imperfection ; but when the stamina are placed near the top of 
the tupe, they become even with the mouth, and in this case the style is kept low 
by the stamina filling, the mouth of the tube; this is called thrum-eyed, and add's 
to the perfection of the flower.

f Capsicum annuum (Guinea pepper) hath many varieties.—In Ceylon they have 
a red pepper called chilly, which it is said makes cayenne , or Kiang pepper.—But 
it was lately asserted in a newspaper, that the composition generally sold as cayenne 
pepper, consisted of four tenths red lead, three tenths salt, and three tenths cay¬ 
enne pepper; if this is fact, it must be very prejudicial to health. See note, t© 
cayenne pepper in index.
