* Anemone hath in general no calyx, but the anemone hepatica hath a three 
leaved perianth. Pliny says this flower never opens its petals but when the wind 
blows ; whence its name. 
f In the helleborus niger (Christmas rose) the petals are white till the seed is, 
impregnated, they then Change into green, forming a kind of calyx. 
* Custard apple (anndna reticulata) is in high repute in Jamaica and other West 
India islands; and is of the same genus with the famous fruit so much cultivated in 
Peru, in South America, (viz. annona squamosa') called by the Spaniards chirimoya, 
and is said to be one of the most delicious fruits ift the world. See note to garcinia.
