(25) It makes a most singular appearance in ye winter, appear= =ing as green in ye midst of snow & ice, as in ye summer.

Telephium opposite folia? Or pine Vid Linn Syst. Vegt.

The plant approaches to this Alsine Segetalis? {Marsh Chick weed or Chuck weed Vide Lin Syst. Veg. Corn

The corol is not so long as ye Calix. Otherwise answers very well. The number of filaments is very uncertain — from 2 to 6 or 7 —

The leaves are roundish — some what awl-shaped — Appears some what like Hampshire Blossoms purple. On dich-banks in ye marsh — found it near Esq {Esquire} Patch's Gate. —

(26) Dedham July 24th Lysimachia thyrsifflor. [thyrsiflora] In Swally land. Blossoms yellow

Augst. 15th Lobelia Dortmanna (Water Spinnet)

This species of ye Lobelia I have described by mistake as ye Lobelia pinifolia — but it perfectly answers to ye Dortmanna — having two cells in each leaf — Grows at Becks pond

Augst 21st 1786 Cacalia — (19 Class — Poly. Equ)

Agrees in general — but — Cal. Com. one small leaf or prop at ye base, may be sub-calyculatus — has only 4 leaves incumbent at ye base —

Corol — only 4 florets in any of ye umbels — but ye No. ye same as ye leaves of ye calix —

All ye rest agree well

(27) I think it must be a new spec. on acct of ye No. of florets being only 4 — but ye other characters do not agree with any of Linn:

Stems twinning, — has no tendrils — some what quadrangu =lar — jointed. climing on shrubs Leaves opposit — between heart & arrow shaped. very much acuminated at apex ye 2 points at ye base some wt cut off — like Convolulus. # leaf stalks rather long quadangular — at ye Joints — Stems of ye umbels long rise from ye axil — of ye leaves — Umbels irregular. # Bluntly scolloped, so as hardly to be perceived —

Blossoms purple — in moist land. Wenham Causway towards Topsfield.

Aug. 19th ( Diadel. Decand.) Trifolium ochroleucum Tall Trefoil — It agrees intirely

(28) entirely — heads roundish — Vide — Spec Syst. Vegt. — It flowers in July & Aug — Blossoms white — ye Vexillum a little streaked, on ye inner part, with red.

Augst. 19th. (Didy. Angios.) Anterrhinum Canad: [Antirrhinum Canadense] Agrees very well

Aug 19. Bignonia approaches much nearer than to the Capraria, than to any other genus — it can not be of Bigno: =nia — But it differs from ye Caparia in several particular ye following — ye following are ye character

Calix a cup of one leaf — 5 segments, small, acuminated — ye 2 upper Segts & ye division between them ye largest — ye lower segt ye smallest — persisting.

Corol. One Petal — tubular — ye tube very large & long — some wt bellied smallest in ye cup — Some wt bellied &

(29) above — mouth large, nearly round. Limb divided into 5 roundish, some wt patent segts — rather broad than long — auriculated or lapping at ye bottom of ye sinuses The two lower segts largest & ye most patent. ye superior 3 — more erect.

Stam — 5 subulated filaments, — inserted into ye base of ye corol. & some wt. shorter than ye corol. — two lower filats a little shorter — Anthera — oblong — double — hairy — inserted on ye filaments at ye upper ends — Some wt curved on ye sides next each other wh gives ym ye appearance of heart shape —
