“Much I love
To see the fair one bind the straggling pink,
Cheer the sweet rose, the lupin, and the stock,
And lend a staff to the still gadding pea.
Ye fair, it well becomes you. Better thus
Cheat time away, than at the crowded rout,
Rustling in silk, in a small room, close-pent,
And heated e’en to fusion; made to breathe
A rank contagious air, and fret at whist,
Or sit aside to sneer and whisper scandal.”
Village Curate, p. 74.

The seed-vessels are of the first importance in ascertaining the
several species of Lathyrus, some being naked, others hairy, some
long, others short, some having a smooth and perfectly even surface,
others, as in the present instance, assuming an uneven or jointed
appearance.
Of this genus we have already figured three annual species, common
in flower-gardens, viz. odoratus, tingitanus, and sativus; to these we
now add the articulatus, not altogether so frequently met with, but
meriting a place on the flower-border, as the lively red and delicate
white so conspicuous in its blossoms, causes it to be much admired.
It is a native of Italy, and was cultivated at the Chelsea Garden, in
the time of Mr. R
AND, anno 1739.

It is a hardy annual, requiring support, and rarely exceeding the
height of two feet, flowering in July and August, and is readily
raised from seeds, which should be sown in the open border at the
beginning of April.

Some plants have a claim on our attention for their utility, some for
their beauty, and some for the singularity of their structure, and the
wonderful nature of their œconomy; in the last class we must place
the present plant, the flowers of which we recommend to the
examination of such of our readers as may have an opportunity of
seeing them; to the philosophic mind, not captivated with mere
shew, they will afford a most delicious treat.
We first saw this novelty in flower, towards the close of the year
1792, at the Apothecaries Garden, Chelsea, where Mr. F
AIRBAIRN
informed me, that he had that season raised several plants of it from
seeds, communicated by Dr. J.
E. SMITH, who received them from
Madrid, to which place they were sent from South-America, and
where the plant as Mons. C
AVANILLE informs us, grows
spontaneously near Mexico. In October 1793, we had the pleasure of
seeing the plant again in blossom in the aforesaid garden, raised
from seeds which ripened there the preceding year, but
unfortunately from the lateness of their flowering, and the very great
injury the plants had sustained from the Cobweb Mite (Acarus
teliarius) vulgarly called the red Spider, there seemed little prospect
that the seed-vessels would arrive at perfection.

The seeds were sown by Mr. FAIRBAIRN, in March, and the plants
kept in the green-house till very late in the summer, when to
accelerate their blowing, they were removed into the dry stove: it is
worthy of remark, that these plants, even late in the autumn, shew
no signs of blossoming, but the flowers at length come forth with
almost unexampled rapidity, and the seed-vessels are formed as
quickly, so that if the flowers were not very numerous, their
blossoming period would be of very short duration; future
experience may perhaps point out the means of making the plant
blow earlier: in Spain, the blossoms appeared later than here, Mons.
C
AVANILLE observed them in the Royal Garden, in November and
December, most probably in the open ground, as no mention is made
of the plants having been preserved from the weather.
It was not till long after our description was taken, that we had an
opportunity of seeing Mons. C
AVANILLE’S most accurate and elegant
work, above quoted, in which this plant is first figured and
described; we have selected the most essential parts of his generic
character, and adopted his specific description: there is one point,
however, in which we differ from him; the part which he regards as
the fifth Petal, we are inclined to consider rather as that indescribable
something, called by L
INNÆUS the Nectary, it is indeed of little
moment whether we call it a Petal or a Nectary, but there are several
reasons why, strictly speaking, we cannot regard it as a Petal: in
general the number of Petals correspond with the number of the
leaves of the Calyx, those of the latter are four; the base of this
Nectary originates deeper than the claws of the Petals, springing in
fact from the same part as the Filament, its structure, especially the
lower part of it, is evidently different from that of the Petals,
corresponding indeed as nearly as possible with that of the base of
the filament.—Vid. D
ESCER.
Mons. C
AVANILLE was induced to call this plant Lopezia, in
compliment to T
H. LOPEZ, a Spaniard
