A CORRESPONDENT sends us q General
and wishes to know if we ever saw any
thing like it. It's oddity consists of a
perfect bud sent up from the centre of
the flower instead of the usual stamens.
We have never before seen anything of
the kind, but have read of such abnormal
growths. In Vick's Magazine for Sep
TENDER, under the heading "Teratology,"
appears the following interesting article
which bears directly on the subject. 1t is
illustrated with the cut of a rose bloom
with the stem on which itgrew prolonged
through it, giving it the appearance of
being strung on the stem in the same
manner as beads are strung on a string:
can Illinois correspondent supplies US
with a good example of what botanists
term "median prolification, -" in speci
men of abnormal rose. As shown in the
illustration herewith, the stem is pro-
longed through the flower and bears a
number of leaves. One noticeable pecu-
liarity of this specimen is a we'll formed,
rose-colored petal borne on the stem at a
point at least half an inch above the in
sertion of the other petals, and is just
included at the summit of the flower. A
popularity not less noticeable in this case
is the malformation of the calyx, which
consists of but two parts; but in which
may be seen the origin of the whole five

varying from purple to nearly white, ap-
pearing in early spring, render it a gen
eral favorite. The butterwort flowers
have similar variety of colors and are
about the same size, one-half to three
quarters of an inch in diameter. They
are borne on a scope three to six inches
high, ascending from cluster of leaves.
The lower lobe of the corOlla has spur
near it's base 1t is abundant in low pine
woods, especially near streams or ponds.
Of viOlets we have four species blossom
ing all winter. Viola cucullate, blue
flower is common in hammOcks. Viola
palmata is large blue or purple violet
growing sometimes in quite dry pine
woods, but more often on ground rang
ing between the high and low. The leaves
are often divided orlobed, hence the name
palmata. V. lanceolata and V. primu-
lAfolia are white violets often found grow
ing together and very abundant near
streams, lakes, or ponds. They are easily
transplanted to higher grounds, where
they will grow and blossom for long
time. Many other flowers are to befound
in the hammocks and fat woods, and as
the season advances the number of spe-
cies constantly increases, furnishing fresh
fields of study to the botanist.

Carping critics often wonder why the

times talk as though they are abused if
we cannot show them brilliant flowers on
the oak and pine trees and on every sand
ridge. would suggest to such persons
that Florida is quite an extensive coun-
try, and that hurried tour through the
State by boat and rail, can give one but
a limited idea OF the rich fora and semi
tropical vegetation to be found in many
parts of the State. Let them go with
some student of natural history on a
weeks tramp through some of the rich
hammocks of Volusia county, amidst tall
trees climbing vines and rare ferns and
orchids often growing on trees and found
in no other part of the United States, and
they will soon form different idea of the
floral resources of the country. Ponce
de Leon and his followers first landed on
Easter Sunday, called in Spanish, ''Pascua
Florida" Glover Sunday and history
says, that seeing a great many flowers
they gave the country the name OF Flori-
da. They landed on the east coast
where there are thousands of acres of
hammock lands within from one to five
miles of the beach and extending along
nearly the entire eastern coast of the
State. Easter Sunday occurs at a season
of the year when nature exhibits it's fora

parts of a normal calyx. One of these
parts consists of well formed leahet,
about an inch in diameter, with a thick
and fattened petiole with two stipules, a
small leafet half-inch or less in dame
ter, with a perfectly rmedpetiole bearing
one stipule, and another leafet partly
transformed from leaf to a sepal and
having one stipule; these three are all
Joined at their base and for a short dis
tance above. The other part consists of
two leaves with the bases of their petioles
united; one of these leaves has six well
formed leaflets, each a half-inch in the
short diameter, and the other has four of
the same character and two quite small
ones, about threesixteenths of an inch
in length; eac h petiole has stipule on
one side
cit will be seen from this description
common origin of leaves and flowers.
The cause of this abnormality can un-
doubtedly be assumed to be the warm
and wet weather which has caused an
unusually vigorous growth. Apparently
the stem that bore this specimen re-
ceived from some cause a check in it's
growth, and as is customary prepared to
produce flower. Five leaves, which is
the number that completes whorl on a
rose stem, were produced in one whorl,
and these were more or less modified as
described, and show how a rose calyx is
formed when the Transformation is COM
plete in the normal manner. In this case
apparently there was not time for the
full change to transpire, but the petals
were quickly formed instead of other
leaves, and the stem pushed forward
through the flower finishing off the last
petal half-inch above the others, and
then still pushed on and produced six
other leaves, when it was discovered and
severed from the parent stem. There
we're no stamens, there was not time to
form them, the supply of sap was too
great, and cell growth too rapid. No
finer example could be produced of the
common origin of leaves and floral or.
gans."
In the rose sent by our correspondent
the stem which pushed on through the
flower terminated in another bud instead
of bearing leaves as in the above case.

after the new year commences. Violets
and some other flowers blossom during
the warm season without showing any
colored petals; they have green calyx
with stamens and pistils, and perfect
their seeds. The Manotropa unifora
blossoms further north in August or
September, but here it's time of Towering
| is about November or December. 1t is
very interesting plant; it grows on high
pine lands, generally in clusters, several
stems near together six to ten inches
high. The careless observer would beapt
to call it some kind of mushroom, as it
has the semi-transparent and fragile ap-
pearance of some species of themushroom
family. 1t is nearly white with straight
stem surmOunted by a dropping head
that might remind one of a common clay
tobacco pipe, hence the common name of
Indian pipe. AS the plant becomes older
the head becomes erect and the whole
plant turns black. A closer examina ton
will show white leaves along the stem
and the heads are regular flowers with
calyx, corrOlla, stamens, pistil and nu-
merOus seeds. 1t is parasitic, growing
on roots or decaying vegetable matter.
A very pretty flower that blossoms all
winter, and were it not so common, one
that would be much priced, is a species
of bluet, (Oldenlandia rotundifolia). 1t
has small roundish leaves spreading over
the ground like mat, and producing a
great many delicate, pure white flowers
with four petals forming a cross. The
flowers are about half an inch in diameter
and are much like the flowers of the Part
ridge berry Mitchell repens) of the N orth
which is also found in many places in
Florida. The bluet has more flowers but
lacks the beautiful red berries of the lat
ter; it also lays aside it's white petals
during the warm season, producing only
