Sivu 348 - This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
Sivu 14 - This plant is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, and was originally grown as a stove plant in the Edinburgh garden.
Sivu 493 - It has no effect on the mental faculties, so far as my own trials and and other observations go, except liberating them from the dulness and drowsiness which follow great bodily fatigue. I do not yet know its effect on mental fatigue purely. As to the several functions, it reduces the effect of severe protracted exercise in accelerating the pulse. It increases the saliva, which, however, may be no more than the effect of mastication. It does not diminish the perspiration, so far as I can judge. It...
Sivu 327 - E. panicutatum (Nutt. ! mss.) : glabrous, or glandular-pubescent above ; stem erect, slender, terete, dichotoinous above ; leaves narrowly linear, obscurely serrulate, acute, attenuate at the base, mostly alternate and fascicled ; the uppermost subulate ; flowers few, terminating the spreading filiform and almost leafless branches ; pedicels pubescent...

A few years ago, the same author tells us, almost the whole of the inmates of the Sheffield workhouse were attacked with symptoms supposed to be produced by their oatmeal having been accidentally adulterated with Lolium...
Sivu 459 - Men- bearers. they were enabled to twine round trunks of trees, for they could not grow tall enough in a single season to reach the summit and gain the light. By what means certain twining plants are adapted to ascend only thin stems, whilst others can twine round thicker ones, I do not know. It appeared to me probable that twining plants with very long revolving shoots would be able to ascend...
Sivu xxviii - Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey of the Territories, embracing Colorado, being a Report of Progress of the Exploration for the year 1873.
Sivu 462 - Solatium ituminoides he says : — " When the flexible petiole of halfor a quarter-grown leaf has clasped any object, in three or four days it increases 'much in thickness, and after several weeks becomes wonderfully hard and rigid ; so that I could hardly remove one from its support. On comparing a thin transverse slice of this petiole with one from the next or older leaf beneath, which had not clasped anything, its diameter was found to be fully doubled, and its structure greatly changed. * * *...
