But I am of opinion that nothing but a fine rich soil will produce a very good crop, and that the principal difference, after all, is owing more to cultivation or change of soil, than to any real difference in the plant itself. MELICA coerulea. BLUE MELIC-GRASS. This is common on all our heaths; it appears coarse, and not a grass likely to be useful. Yet this kind is spoken of by Dr.
It is intimately connected with their religion, and they give it a wonderful origin. Vishnu, the God of Light, the Preserver, is represented seated upon the lotus and holding one of the flowers in his hand. There are two species of the water-lily in the East the one mentioned and the Nympha coerulea. The latter, as the name implies, is blue, and said to be wonderfully beautiful. A blue water-lily!
Just as the sepals open at the tips, and you think they are about to expand, they shrivel and fall away, leaving a tuft of greenish yellow stamens in the center. Is it A. Hudsoni? Another species not often seen, but well worth culture, is A. coerulea, a kind with finely cut leaves and purplish blue flowers.
Arabs, fertility of crosses with other races; gashing of cheeks and temples among the. Arachnida. Arakhan, artificial widening of the forehead by the natives of. Arboricola, young of. Archeopteryx. Arctiidae, coloration of the. Ardea asha, rufescens, and coerulea, change of colour in. Ardea coerulea, breeding in immature plumage. Ardea gularis, change of plumage in.
The description might be applied to V. coerulea, but that species is a native of the Khasya hills; more appropriately, as I recall Mr. Bentley's words, to V. coerulescens, which, however, is Burmese. Furthermore, neither of these would be looked for on the branch of a great tree. Possibly someone who reads this may know what became of Mr. Templar's specimen.
The most widely dispersed were Daption capensis the pintado or Cape-pigeon of voyagers Procellaria hasitata, P. coerulea, P. lessonii, and P. gigantea, of which the first and second were the most numerous and readily took a bait towing astern. It is probable that all these species make the circuit of the globe, as they are equally distributed over the South Indian Ocean.
Gould's memoir* were either unknown or involved in obscurity and confusion. Among these is one which merits special notice here, a small blue petrel, closely resembling P. coerulea, from which it may readily be distinguished by wanting the white tips to the central tailfeathers.
