By boiling, even for a little time, their fine flavour is destroyed. A wine is also made of the flowers, which is given as an opiate. PRUNELLA vulgaris. SELFHEAL. The Leaves. It has an herbaceous roughish taste, and hence stands recommended in haemorrhages and alvine fluxes.
In Attica, too, was early developed a characteristic and closely accurate type of representation of marine forms, and this attained a wider vogue in Southern Italy in the fourth century. Paintings of fish on plates. Italo-Greek work of the fourth century B. C. From Morin. A. Sargus vulgaris. B. Crenilabrus mediterraneus.
ANDROMEDA polifolia. This is a beautiful little shrub, and grown in gardens for the sake of its flowers; it is also an evergreen. This plant will not succeed unless it is planted in bog earth, for a description of which see page 152 of this volume. AQUILEGIA vulgaris. COLUMBINE. We have scarcely a plant affording more beauty or greater variety than this.
In contrast with the smooth or softly undulating outlines of the spathe of Mediterranean Araceæ, one species stands out in relief, in which the sharply-marked fold of the spathe almost corresponds to the forms of the ornaments which we are discussing. It is Dracunculus vulgaris, and derives its name from its stem, which is spotted like a snake.
Flowers small, bright yellow, and produced in few-flowered axillary racemes on short peduncles. The berries are small, globular, and light red. China, 1852. This is a shrub of neat low growth, but it does not appear to be at all plentiful. B. VULGARIS. Common Barberry. This is a native species, with oblong leaves, and terminal, drooping racemes of yellow flowers.
One of the commonest shrubs in English gardens, with small, oval, entire leaves, and neat little racemes of pretty pink flowers, succeeded by the familiar snow-white berries, and for which the shrub is so remarkable. S. VULGARIS. Coral Berry, Common St. Peter's Wort. North America, 1730. This is readily distinguished by its showy and freely-produced coral berries.
I do not think he had any idea where we were, nor had he seen any single object which we had passed; but at this moment he noticed a flower in the hedge, and looked tenderly at it. "Ha! there is ailanthus vulgaris," he said "very unusual. Excuse my interrupting you, but botany is rather a passion of mine. It may interest you to hear..." and I had a few minutes' botany thrown in.
Rouen, or Chinese Lilac. A plant of small growth, with narrow leaves, and reddish-violet flowers. It is said to have been raised by M. Varin, of the Botanic Garden, Rouen, as a hybrid between S. vulgaris and S. persica, 1795. S. EMODI. Himalayas, 1840.

The first of this group, S. vulgaris Lemoinei, was sent out about 1884, and was then awarded a certificate by the R.H.S. The range in colouring of these Lilacs is rather confined, so that the various forms resemble one another in no small degree, particularly when the flowers are opened under glass.
