D., professor of botany at Oxford, who travelled into Greece, for the purpose of collecting materials for a classical Flora Græca, in which he succeeded even beyond his own hopes. After his death the publication of his materials was confided to Sir James Edward Smith, under whose care the work has reached to five hundred figures in folio, of the most magnificent kind; five hundred more have yet to be published. A little trailing plant. 1359. Limosella. From limus, mud. The plant grows by the edge of puddles and in muddy places. 1360.

Handsome plants with blue flowers, often cultivated as tender annuals. 1361. Stemodia. From σημωv, a stamen, and δiς, double. Each of the stamens supports two anthers. 1362. Trevirana.

Named after Dr. Treviranus, a German botanist. This beautiful plant, which is commonly called Cyrilla pulchella, is one of the prettiest of the old inhabitants of the stove. 1363. Columnea. In honor of Fabius Columna, or Fabio Colonna, of the noble family of Colonna in Italy, born in 1567. He published his Phytobazanos in 1592, and his Ecphrasis in 1606, both works of high in 1567.

He published his Phytobazanos in 1592, and his Ecphrasis in 1606, both works of high reputation in their day. One species, C. scandens, is common in hothouses, where it is cultivated for the neatness of its foliage and the beauty of its scarlet blossoms.
