Text Appearing Before Image:
rcely, if at all,different from our L. pereniie. There is, besides, another peren-nial form, native to Eastern Asia, the L. pereime Sibiricum, alsoscarcely different; and all this renders it highly probable thatthe true Flax is a descendant of our species. An additionalproof that it may have had this origin is the fact that the com-mon Flax varies remarkably in itself. At the American Cen-tennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, a great number of varietiescame from Russia and Holland, differincr as much amone them-selves as the whole, as a species differs from our perennialFlax. The probable close connection of our plant with thelinen of the mummies and the literature of the ancient peoplewill give our plant a new interest in the eyes of the lover ofAmerican wild flowers. Our plant seems first to make its appearance near the Mexi-can boundary, whence it traverses the whole continent betweenthe Pacific and the Mississippi, extending through its severalvarieties to Europe and Asia.
