─────── TH’ PRIMROSE.
If any, o’ our wild plants are more generally known, or more widely appreciated, than th’ beautiful flower figured on th’ present plate. Th’ graceful form o’ th’ widely - expanded blossoms, th’ delicacy o’ their colour ’nd fragrance, their profusion ’nd th’ time o’ th’ year at which they are found, are all features that tend to endear them to all lovers o’ plants. Th’ colour is a very unusual one; th’ only blossom that we can call to remembrance as we write that at all closely resembles it is one o’ th’ beautiful plants o’ th’ rivers o’ tropical America, th’ Lymnocharis Humboldtii, which, though very different in form, has th’ same delicate sulphur tint o’er tg’ greater part o’ each petal ’nd th’ same rish spot o’ deep, clear yellow at its base, that we see ’nd admire in th’ primrose. Th’ L. Humboldtii appears to be a by no means troublesome plant to cultivate ’nd our readers will find.
