A curious circumstance attends the large hollies in Needwood-forest, they are armed with thorny leaves about eight feet high, and have smooth leaves above; as if they were conscious that horses and cattle could not reach their upper branches. See note on Meadia, and on Mancinella.
The numerous clumps of hollies in Needwood-forest serve as landmarks to direct the travellers across it in various directions; and as a shelter to the deer and cattle in winter; and in scarce seasons supply them with much food. For when the upper branches, which are without prickles, are cut down, the deer crop the leaves and peel off the bark.
The flowers of the Cucurbita lagenaria are said to close when the sun shines upon them. Alluding to an unpublished poem by F. N. Mundy, Esq. on his leaving Needwood-Forest. Tropæolum. l. 45. Majus. Garden Nasturtion, or greater Indian cress. Eight males, one female.
