Сторінка 641 - had not advanced far in the critical examination of our native plants before he found that a careful comparison of indigenous specimens with the works of eminent continental authors, and with plants obtained from other parts of Europe, must necessarily be made, for it appeared that in very many cases the nomenclature employed in England was different from that used in other countries, that often plants considered as varieties here were held to be distinct species abroad, that several of our species...
Сторінка 1066 - In order, however, that the plant might have a fair chance of success, I directed that it should be defended from accident and harm by means of a wooden paling. Year after year it increased in size and beauty ; and when its expansion had entirely filled the hole in the centre of the millstone, it gradually began to raise up the millstone itself from the seat of its long repose. This huge mass of stone is now S in. above the ground, and is entirely supported by the stem of the nut tree, which has...
Сторінка 642 - ... At the conclusion of the war we had become so wedded to the system of Linnaeus, and it may even perhaps be allowable to add, so well satisfied with our own proficiency, that, with the honourable exception of Mr. Brown, there was at that time scarcely a botanist in Britain who took any interest in, or paid the least attention to, the classification by natural orders which had been adopted in France, and to the more minute and accurate examination of plants which was caused by the employment of...
Сторінка 1066 - I AM very partial to the holly, the yew, and the ivy. They give both food and shelter to the birds ; whilst their charming green foliage makes us almost forget that winter has set in. The holly claims my preference ; for, in addition to food and shelter, it affords an impenetrable retreat to those birds which take up their quarters on its branches for the night. Our ancestors knew and felt the value of the holly hedge, when the wintry blast whistled through the naked hawthorn. Hence they raised it...

Then followed the long-continued separation of this country from France, and indeed from most of the European nations, by which we were almost completely prevented from observing the progress which botanical science was making in...
Сторінка 937 - Its purpose, as they stated then, was 'the promotion of Natural History by the printing of original works in Zoology and Botany; of new editions of works of established merit; of rare Tracts and MSS; and of translations and reprints of foreign works; which are generally inaccessible'.

Сторінка 749 - It has, however, been found, that although blue light accelerates germination, and gives a healthful vigour to the young plant, its stimulating influences are too great to ensure a perfect growth. The strength of the plant appears to be expended in the production of a beautiful deep green foliage ; and it is only by checking this tendency, by the substitution of a yellow for a blue light, that the plant can be brought into its flowering and seeding state. The etiolating influence of the green rays...
