Text Appearing Before Image:
untains. Its time of flowering is given as July byDr. Gray and Prof. Wood, but it will probably be found inbloom later than this, and indeed Dr. Chapman says that in theSouth it blooms from July to September. The specimen from which our drawing was made grew at theBussey Institute, under the care of Mr. Jackson Dawson, thehead gardener of the Arnold Arboretum. In the paragraph quoted from Dr. Lindleys VegetableKingdom, the position of the stamens before the sepals in-stead of the petals, is spoken of, and the reader, on referring toFig. 2 on our plate, may have been surprised at finding only thecalyx represented. The petals in all the species of Paronychiaare exceedingly minute, and in our Silverhead they are mereteeth between the stamens, so that the flower might easily betaken for an apetalous one. Explanation of the Plate. — i. Portion of a bushy plant, natural size. — 2. Enlargedflower, showing the stamens opposite the sepals. —3. Enlarged flower, side view. Vol. n Plate 35.
