Even the white spots on the leaflets have proved to be constant characters corresponding with noticeable differences in yield. Flax is another instance. It was already cultivated, or at least made use of during the period of the lake-dwellers, but at that time it was a species referred to as Linum angustifolium, and not the Linum usitatissimum, which is our present day flax.
Boerhaave esteems them capable, if duly continued, of resolving almost all kinds of coagulations, and opening very obstinate obstructions of the viscera. LINUM usitatissimum. FLAX. The Seeds.
Tested in the same way I found the white varieties of the following annual plants also quite true: Chrysanthemum coronarium, Godetia amoena, Linum usitatissimum, Phlox drummondi, and Silene Armeria. I cultivated it, in large numbers during five succeeding generations, but was never able to find even the slightest indication of a reversion to the red prototype.
They are two very different plants, and ought to be well defined, being each of them of very material consequence in this country. LINUM usitatissimum. FLAX, or LINT-SEED. Is grown for the purpose of making cloth, and has been considered a very profitable crop. The culture and management is similar to that of Hemp, and the seeds are in great demand for pressing.
