We will not open the discussion here, except to say that the casual employment of local names is of no service because so many of these names are common to so many different plants. Our author's #Rabbits'-meat#, for instance, is applied to Anthriscus sylvestris, Heracleum Spondylium, Oxalis Acetosella and Lamium purpureum; all of which may be suitable rabbits' food.
It evidently belonged to the group of sporting varieties already referred to. All others came absolutely true to type without any exception. The species experimented with, were Campanula persicifolia, Hyssopus officinalis, Lobelia syphilitica, Lychnis chalcedonica, Polemonium dissectum, Salvia sylvestris and some others.
My sisters were in ecstasies of triumph over a wild everlasting-pea, which grew here to a considerable height Lathyrus sylvestris, they said, Fr. Gesse sauvage, distinct from G. hétéropyhlle, which is still larger, and is almost confined to a favourite place of sojourn with us, the little Swiss valley of Les Plans.
My twisted valerian is a poor race, and hardly anything can be done with it. Perhaps, in other countries the corresponding rich race may be hidden somewhere, but I have never had the good fortune of finding it. This good fortune however, I did have with the wild teasel or Dipsacus sylvestris.
Such is especially the case with a hybrid between Anemone magellanica and the common Anemone sylvestris. Starting from similar considerations Kerner von Marilaun pointed out the fact long ago that many so-called species, of rare occurrence, standing between two allied types, may be considered to have originated by a cross.
Frederick Hoffman strongly recommends them in weakness of the stomach, diarrhoeas, and for strengthening the tone of the viscera in general; and thinks they well deserve the appellation given them by Helmont, intestinorum solamen. PINUS sylvestris. SCOTCH FIR. Tar, yellow Resin, and Turpentine.
But it does not appear that the antisiphylitic powers of Lobelia have been confirmed by any instances of European practice. Woodville's Med. Bot. p. 251. LYTHRUM Salicaria. WILLOW HERB. The Herb. D. This is used internally in dropsies, obstinate gleets, and leucorrhoea. Similar Plants. Epilobium palustre; Epilob. angustifolium; Epilob. hirsutum. MALVA sylvestris. COMMON MALLOW. Herb.
It is the 'Satyrus indicus' of the 'Systema Naturae', and is regarded by Linnaeus as possibly a distinct species from 'Satyrus sylvestris'. The last, named 'Pygmaeus Edwardi', is copied from the figure of a young "Man of the Woods," or true Orang-Utan, given in Edwards' 'Gleanings of Natural History' . Buffon was more fortunate than his great rival.
I planted the hill with a few birches, and all the plants I have mentioned completely disappeared, though there were many naked spots of sand between the trees. It should be added, however, that the hillock is more thickly wooded than before. . . . It seems then that Sempervivum tectorum, etc., will not bear the neighborhood of the birch, though growing well near the Pinus sylvestris.
The dwellings often reach considerable size, yet they are always begun by a single female, who does all the work without help until the moment when the first eggs come out; she is thus furnished with workers capable of taking a share in her task. The Vespa sylvestris builds a paper nest of this kind, hanging to the branch of a tree, like a great grey sphere prolonged to a blunt neck.
