Page 90. Line 5.
"From the wild bee," &c.
Apis centuncularis. This insect weaves, or rather cements rose leaves together, to form its cell.
Line 8.
"And the Hypericum," &c.
An elegant shrub, of which Cowper thus speaks:
"Hypericum all bloom, so thick a swarm
Of flowers, like flies clothing her slender rods,
That scarce a leaf appears."
It seems admirably adapted to a fairy garland.
Line 13.
"So did the Passiflora's radii shed."
Passiflora cerulea.
