It was hashish that the Old Man of the Mountain, the chief of the sect of Assassins, had recourse to for intoxicating his adepts, and it was, it is thought, by the use of a virulent solanaceous plant henbane, thornapple, or belladonna that he succeeded in rendering them insensible.
I have chosen the color of the purple thornapple as a first example, but the colors of other plants show so many diverging aspects, all pointing so clearly to the same conclusion, that it would be well to take a more extensive view of this interesting subject. First we must consider the correlation in the colors of flowers and fruits.
But as its distinguishing attributes, as far as we are concerned with them here, are of the nature described above as characteristic of varietal peculiarities no objection can be made to our using them as a case of correlative variability. The essential character of the purple thornapple lies in the color of the flowers, which are of a very beautiful pale blue.
