Specimen of a Now Honey Plant.

AT a recent meeting Of the American
Association for the Advancement OF
Science, specimens Of new honey plant
were exhibited. Six years ago it was
sown. with other seeds from Florida, by
AIr Chapman, OF Versailles. The plant
is classified by Beal and ScrintOn as the
echinops spherocephala It belongs to
the teasel family, and, a native Of Cen
tral France, has in some unaccountable
manner become naturalized in Florida.
II grows from fonr to five feet high, and
bears large prickly leaves like those Of a
thistle, and from twenty to thirty heads
of small white flowers, which open from
the top downward. The flowers are
very productive of nectar, and are there
fore very attractive To bees, 2,13j Of
which, by actual count, visited one head
OF plant between D a. IL. and z ?. N.
Thirty heads furnished supplies for 80 600

Family Resembiances and Tecuiisrities.

1t is just the same, be sure, in mental

most marked. may be wanting OF actually
