"—— All alone, amid her Garden fair,
"From morn to noon, from noon to dewy eve,
"She spent her days, her pleasing task to tend
"The flowers; to lave them from the water-spring;
"To ope the buds with her enamoured breath,
"Rank the gay tribes, and rear them in the sun. —— ——
"Thus plied assiduous her delightful task,
"Day after day, till every herb she named
That paints the robe of Spring.

Descr.
Shrub from two to three feet or more in height, the thickest part of the stem not exceeding the size of the little finger, covered with a smooth brown bark, irregularly branched; Flowers appearing before the leaves are fully expanded, and produced in umbels at the extremities of the branches, from eight to twelve or more in an umbel, of a fine yellow colour and agreeable fragrance; each blossom is about the size of that of the horse-chestnut, and as some of them are produced much earlier than others, the plant of course continues a considerable time in bloom, standing on short peduncles; Calyx very short, viscous, and irregularly divided, most commonly into five ovato-lanceolate segments; Corolla, tube cylindrical, viscous, grooved, brim divided into five segments, undulated and somewhat wrinkled, ovate, pointed, three turning upwards, two downwards, of the three uppermost segments the middle one more intensely yellow than the others and inclining to orange, with which it is sometimes spotted; Stamina usually five, yellow, projecting beyond the corolla, and turning upwards near their extremities; Antheræ orange-coloured; Pollen whitish and thready; Germen somewhat conical, evidently hairy, and somewhat angular; Style yellowish, filiform, projecting beyond the stamina, and turning upwards; Stigma forming a round green head.
The figure and description here given were taken from a plant which flowered by means of artificial heat, in the spring of 1798, at Mr.
Watson's
, Nurseryman, Islington, and which had been introduced the same year, by Mr.
Anthony Hove
, of Warsaw.
