 PLATE LXXX

WOOD LILY.—L. Philadelphicum.

Hound’s Tongue.
Cynoglossum officinale. Borage Family.

Stem.—Clothed with soft hairs. Leaves.—Alternate, hairy, the upper ones

lance-shaped, clasping somewhat by a rounded or heart-shaped base. Flowers.—
Purplish-red, growing in a curved raceme-like cluster which straightens as the
blossoms expand. Calyx.—Five-parted. Corolla.—Funnel-form, five-lobed.
Stamens.—Five. Pistil.—One. Fruit.—A large nutlet roughened with barbed or
hooked prickles.
 This coarse plant, whose disagreeable odor strongly suggests
mice, is not only a troublesome weed in pasture-land but a special
annoyance to wool-growers, as its prickly fruit adheres with
pertinacity to the fleece of sheep. Its common name is a translation
of its generic title and refers to the shape and texture of the leaves.
The dull red flowers appear in summer.

Butterfly-weed. Pleurisy-root.
Asclepias tuberosa. Milkweed Family.

Stem.—Rough and hairy, one or two feet high, erect, very leafy, branching at
the summit, without milky juice. Leaves.—Linear to narrowly lance-shaped.
Flowers.—Bright orange-red, in flat-topped, terminal clusters, otherwise closely
resembling those of the common milkweed (p. 192.) Fruit.—Two hoary erect pods,
one of them often stunted.
Few if any of our native plants add more to the beauty of the
midsummer landscape than the milkweeds, and of this family no
member is more satisfying to the color-craving eye than the gorgeous
butterfly-weed, whose vivid flower-clusters flame from the dry sandy
meadows with such luxuriance of growth as to seem almost tropical.
Even in the tropics one hardly sees anything more brilliant than the
great masses of color made by these flowers along some of our New
England railways in July, while farther south they are said to grow
even more profusely. Its gay coloring has given the plant its name of
butterfly-weed, while that of pleurisy-root arose from the belief that
the thick, deep root was a remedy for pleurisy. The Indians used it as
food and prepared a crude sugar from the flowers; the young seed-
pods they boiled and ate with buffalo-meat. The plant is worthy of
cultivation and is easily transplanted, as the fleshy roots when
broken in pieces form new plants. Oddly enough, at the Centennial
much attention was attracted by a bed of these beautiful plants which
were brought from Holland. Truly, flowers like prophets are not
without honor save in their own country.
 PLATE LXXXI

BUTTERFLY-WEED.—A. tuberosa.

European Hawkweed. Devil’s Paintbrush.

Hieracium aurantiacum. Composite Family (p. 13).

Stem.—Hairy, erect. Leaves.—Hairy, oblong, close to the ground. Flower-

heads.—Orange-red, composed entirely of strap-shaped flowers, clustered.
In parts of New York and of New England the midsummer
meadows are ablaze with the brilliant orange-red flowers of this
striking European weed. It is among the more recent emigrants to
this country and bids fair to become an annoyance to the farmer,
hence its not altogether inappropriate title of devil’s paintbrush. In
England it was called “Grimm the Collier,” on account of its black
hairs and after a comedy of the same title which was popular during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Both its common and generic names
refer to an ancient superstition to the effect that birds of prey used
the juice of this genus to strengthen their eyesight.

Oswego Tea. Bee Balm.

Monarda didyma. Mint Family (p. 16).

Stem.—Square, erect, about two feet high. Leaves.—Opposite, ovate, pointed,

aromatic; those near the flowers tinged with red. Flowers.—Bright red, clustered in
a close round head. Calyx.—Reddish, five-toothed. Corolla.—Elongated, tubular,
two-lipped. Stamens.—Two, elongated, protruding. Pistil.—One, with a two-lobed
style, protruding.
We have so few red flowers that when one flashes suddenly upon
us it gives us a pleasant thrill of wonder and surprise. Then red
flowers know so well how to enhance their beauty by seeking an
appropriate setting. They select the rich green backgrounds only
found in moist, shady places, and are peculiarly charming when
associated with a lonely marsh or a mountain brook. The bee balm
especially haunts these cool nooks, and its rounded flower-clusters
touch with warmth the shadows of the damp woods of midsummer.
The Indians named the flower O-gee-chee—flaming flower, and are
said to have made a tea-like decoction from the blossoms.
 PLATE LXXXII

OSWEGO TEA.—M. didyma.

Pimpernel. Poor-Man’s-Weather-Glass.
Anagallis arvensis. Primrose Family.

Stems.—Low, spreading. Leaves.—Opposite, ovate, set close to the stem.

Flowers.—Red, occasionally blue or white, growing singly from the axils of the
leaves. Calyx.—Five-parted. Corolla.—Five-parted, wheel-shaped. Stamens.—Five,
with bearded filaments. Pistil.—One.
This flower is found in sandy fields, being noted for its
sensitiveness to the weather. It folds its petals at the approach of
rain, and fails to open at all on a wet or cloudy day. Even in fine
weather it closes in the early afternoon and “sleeps” till the next
morning. Its ripened seeds are of value as food for many songbirds.
It was thought at one time to be serviceable in liver complaints,
which reputed virtue may have given rise to the old couplet:
No ear hath heard, no tongue can tell
The virtues of the pimpernel.

Cardinal-flower.
Lobelia cardinalis. Lobelia Family.

Stem.—From two to four feet high. Leaves.—Alternate, narrowly oblong,

slightly toothed. Flowers.—Bright red, growing in a raceme. Calyx.—Five-cleft.
Corolla.—Somewhat two-lipped, the upper lip of two rather erect lobes, the lower
spreading and three-cleft. Stamens.—Five, united into a tube. Pistil.—One, with a
fringed stigma.
We have no flower which can vie with this in vivid coloring. In
late summer its brilliant red gleams from the marshes or is reflected
from the shadowy water’s edge with unequalled intensity——
As if some wounded eagle’s breast
Slow throbbing o’er the plain,
Had left its airy path impressed
In drops of scarlet rain.[10]

The early French Canadians were so struck with its beauty that they
sent the plant to France as a specimen of what the wilds of the New
World could yield. Perhaps at that time it received its English name
which likens it to the gorgeously attired dignitaries of the Roman
Church.
 PLATE LXXXIII

CARDINAL-FLOWER.—L. cardinalis.

Trumpet Honeysuckle.
Lonicera sempervirens. Honeysuckle Family.

A twining shrub. Leaves.—Entire, opposite, oblong, the upper pairs united

around the stem. Flowers.—Deep red without, yellowish within; in close clusters
from the axils of the upper leaves. Calyx.—With very short teeth. Corolla.—
Trumpet-shaped, five-lobed. Stamens.—Five. Pistil.—One. Fruit.—A red or orange
berry.
Many of us are so familiar with these flowers in our gardens that
we have, perhaps, considered them “escapes” when we found them
brightening the pasture thicket where really they are most at home,
appearing at any time from May till October.
The fragrant woodbine, L. grata, is also frequently cultivated.
Its natural home is the rocky woodlands, where its sweet-scented
whitish or yellowish flowers appear in May. Its stamens and style
protrude conspicuously beyond the corolla-tube, which is an inch in
length.
The greenish or yellowish flowers of the fly honeysuckle, L.
ciliata, grow in pairs. They are found in the rocky woods of May, on
an erect, bushy shrub, the leaves of which are all distinct, never
meeting about the stem.
 V
BLUE AND PURPLE

Liverwort. Liver-leaf.
Hepatica triloba. Crowfoot Family.

Scape.—Fuzzy, one-flowered. Leaves.—Rounded, three-lobed, from the root.

Flowers.—Blue, white, or pinkish. Calyx.—Of six to twelve petal-like sepals; easily
taken for a corolla, because directly underneath are three little leaves which
resemble a calyx. Corolla.—None. Stamens.—Usually numerous. Pistils.—Several.

The liver-leaf puts forth her sister blooms

Of faintest blue—

soon after the late snows have melted. Indeed these fragile-looking,
enamel-like flowers are sometimes found actually beneath the snow,
and form one of the many instances which we encounter among
flowers, as among their human contemporaries, where the frail and
delicate-looking withstand storm and stress far better than their
more robust-appearing brethren. We welcome these tiny newcomers
with especial joy, not alone for their delicate beauty, but because they
are usually the first of all the flowers upon the scene of action, if we
rule out the never-tardy skunk-cabbage. The rusty leaves of last
summer are obliged to suffice for the plant’s foliage until some little
time after the blossoms have appeared, when the young fresh leaves
begin to uncurl themselves. Some one has suggested that the fuzzy
little buds look as though they were still wearing their furs as a
protection against the wintry weather which so often stretches late
into our spring. The flowers vary in color from a lovely blue to pink
or white. They are found chiefly in the woods, but occasionally on the
sunny hill-sides as well.
The generic name, Hepatica, is from the Greek for liver, and was
probably given to the plant on account of the shape of its leaf. Dr.
Prior says that “in consequence of this fancied likeness it was used as
a remedy for liver complaints, the common people having long
labored under the belief that nature indicated in some such fashion
the uses to which her creations might be applied.”
 Common Blue Violet.
Viola cucullata. Violet Family.

Scape.—Slender, one-flowered. Leaves.—Heart-shaped, all from the root.

Flowers.—Varying from a pale blue to deep purple, borne singly on a scape. Calyx.
—Of five sepals extended into ears at the base. Corolla.—Of five somewhat unequal
petals, the lower one spurred at the base. Stamens.—Short and broad, somewhat
united around the pistil. Pistil.—One with a club-shaped style and bent stigma.
Perhaps this is the best-beloved as well as the best known of the
early wild flowers. Whose heart has not been gladdened at one time
or another by a glimpse of some fresh green nook in early May where
—purple violets lurk,
With all the lovely children of the shade?

It seems as if no other flower were so suggestive of the dawning year,

so associated with the days when life was full of promise. Although I
believe that more than a hundred species of violets have been
recorded, only about thirty are found in our country; of these
perhaps twenty are native to the Northeastern States. Unfortunately
we have no strongly sweet-scented species, none
—sweeter than the lids of Juno’s eyes
Or Cytherea’s breath,—

as Shakespeare found the English blossom. Prophets and warriors as

well as poets have favored the violet; Mahomet preferred it to all
other flowers, and it was chosen by the Bonapartes as their emblem.
Perhaps its frequent mention by ancient writers is explained by
the discovery that the name was one applied somewhat
indiscriminately to sweet-scented blossoms.
 PLATE LXXXIV

LIVERWORT.—H. triloba.

The bird-foot violet, V. pedata, unlike other members of the

family, has leaves which are divided into linear lobes. Its flower is
peculiarly lovely, being large and velvety. The variety, V. bicolor, is
especially striking and pansy-like, its two upper petals being of a
deeper hue than the others. It is found in the neighborhood of
Washington in abundance, and on the shaly soil of New Jersey.
An interesting feature of many of these plants is their
cleistogamous flowers. These are small and inconspicuous blossoms,
which never open (thus guarding their pollen against all
depredations), but which are self-fertilized, ripening their seeds in
the dark. They are usually found near or beneath the ground, and are
often taken for immature buds.

Dog Violet.
Viola canina, var. Muhlenbergii. Violet Family.
 Three to eight inches high. Stems.—Leafy. Leaves.—Heart-shaped, wavy-
toothed. Flowers.—Pale violet.
This is the commonest blue species of the leafy-stemmed violets.
It is found in wet, shady places from May till July.

Bluets. Quaker Ladies.

Houstonia cærulea. Madder Family.

Stem.—Erect, three to five inches high. Leaves.—Very small, opposite.

Flowers.—Small, delicate blue, lilac, or nearly white, with a yellowish eye. Calyx.—
Four-lobed. Corolla.—Salver-shaped, four-lobed, corolla-tube long and slender.
Stamens.—Four. Pistil.—One, with two stigmas.
No one who has been in the Berkshire Hills during the month of
May can forget the loveliness of the bluets. The roadsides, meadows,
and even the lawns, are thickly carpeted with the dainty enamel-like
blossoms which are always pretty, but which seem to flourish with
especial vigor and in great profusion in this lovely region. Less
plentiful, perhaps, but still common is the little plant in grassy places
far south and west, blossoming in early spring.
