Cowper has, with many other fine plants, 
also noticed the broom. 
Hypericum, all bloom, so thick a swarm 
Of flowers, like flies, clothing her slender rods, 
That scarce a leaf appears ; mezereon too, 
Though leafless, well attired, and thick beset i) 
With blushing wreaths, investing every spray ; Ii 
Althea, with the purple eye; the broom, | 
Yellow and bright, as bullion unalloyed, 
Her blossoms. hy 



Sweet blooms genista in the myrtle shade, 
DARWIN. 

Re a ae a ne 
THERE are several species of this beautiful 
plant which open only at night. They are
