COMMON THRIFT. Statice armeria. Plate 4, fig. 3. Flowers in a single round, terminal head. Leaves linear. The Common Thrift is found scattered over many parts of England, sometimes on the muddy sea shore at other times on the tops of mountains. The leaves are linear, and all come from the root, which is tufted and fibrous. The flowers are pink, collected in a round head (called by children Pincushions, ) and partly inclosed in a scaly calyx, that ends below in a brown dry sheath, running some w...ay down the flower stalk. " Tis this, which rustic neatness leads, Kound the trim garden's walks and beds, Whose globe-like tufts of blossom throw, O'er the green marsh a rosy glow. Nor less, where Alpine regions lift Their misty tops, the hardy Thrift. " Bishop Mcml . 58 SEA LAVENDER. Statice limonium. Plate 4, fig. 4. Flowers in a branched, spreading head. Leaves elliptic. A handsome plant, common on the muddy sea shores of England, but not of Scotland ; flowering in July, and growing eight or ten inches high.
