AGRIMONY. 
Agrimony is a pretty species of campa¬ 
nula, whose flowers of the most delicate lilac 
colour are suspended from the plant like 
little hells. The French commonly call it 
“ Religieuse de Champs and Madame de 
Chasteney says, in her Calendar of Flora,— 
“ It is suspected that this has been called 
agrimony from the resemblance of its flowers 
to the hermit’s hell. For my own part I 
think that gratitude has given it the name 
of ‘ Religieuse de Champs,’ in honour, pro¬ 
bably, of some kind, tender, and beneficent 
Sister of Charity.”
