Beyond the kopje grow some pale-green, hairy-leaved bushes. We are so small, they meet over our head, and we sit among them, and kiss them, and they love us back; it seems as though they were alive. One day we sit there and look up at the blue sky, and down at our fat little knees; and suddenly it strikes us, Who are we? This I, what is it?
It must come from some hairy-leaved plant, one of the Boragineae perhaps, rich both in mucilage and the necessary bristles. I am not yet much acquainted with her work, which should resemble that of the Golden Osmia. It is a very elegant, but very small lodging, to say nothing of the fact that a considerable portion is taken up with the green-putty plug. There is just room for two.
K. HIRSUTA. Hairy-leaved Kalmia. South-east Virginia to Florida, 1786. This is at once distinguished by the rather rough and hairy foliage and few rosy-tinted flowers. It is of dwarf, neat growth. K. LATIFOLIA. Calico Bush, or Mountain Laurel. Alleghanies, Canada, and Western Florida, 1734.
