Together intertwined and trammelled fresh;
The vine of glossy sprout,—the ivy mesh,
Shading its Ethiop berries,—and woodbine,
Of velvet leaves and bugle blooms divine;—
Convolvulus in streakèd vases blush,
The creeper mellowing for an autumn flush,—
And Virgin's Bower trailing airily,
With others of the sisterhood."
Finally, our order comprises the Hepatica, with its blue or pink blossoms and three-lobed leaves, which, from their fancied resemblance to the form of the liver, procured the plant its English name of liverwort; the Flos Adonis, or pheasant's eye,—the goutte-de-sang of the French,—so called because the ancients fabled that it sprang from the blood of Adonis, when wounded by the bear; the marsh marigold; the gay and vivacious larkspur; the deadly wolfsbane, or aconite, which secretes so potent a poison; and the aromatic love-in-a-mist, or French flower.[55]
