DECANDRIA. MONOGYNIA. Pyrola. 525 
P. minor and media are truly distinct species: here the style is wholly 
included within the blossom, having a five-rayed stigma with lobes 
patent ; whilst P. media has a long style, projecting beyond the blos¬ 
som, and having five erect points at its extremity. The plant under 
the name of P. minor in E. Bot. is a very bad figure, with spread¬ 
ing flowers and acute petals. That of P. rosea is a good figure of the 
true minor. Flowers in both a pale rose colour. Hook. E.)

“ Objects which least inspire delight 
Take pleasing tints from thee, 
And strangely satisfy our sight 
From mere locality.” 
Still more are the most agreeable associations connected with our science enhanced by the 
discovery of rare or beautiful plants in situations otherwise calculated to excite emotion; as the 
elegant Pyrola near the picturesque ruins on the banks of the Wye ; beside the venerable 
palace and monastery of Scone ; mid the romantic scenery of the falls of the Clyde, where 
“ From rock to rock the headlong waters leap, 
Tossing their billowy crests in wild career ; ” 
Or by 
<c Roslin’s towers and braes sae bonny ! 
Craigs and water, woods and glen ! 
Roslin’s banks 1 unpeer’d by ony 
Save t,he muses Hawthornden! ” E.)
