LINN^A. Dr. J; F. Gronovius, with the conc
u r r e n c e of Linneeus, selected this little depressed.
abject, early-flowering, long-overl
o o k e d northern plant, to transmit the illust
r i o u s name of Linnssns to posterity. Linn.
14, Or. 2, l^at. Or. Caprifoliàcece. This eleg
a n t little plant is not only a native of thel
a n d which gave bi r t h to Linnaeus, but also of
L a p l a n d , Norway, Enssia, Germany, Switzerl
a n d , Savoy, Siberia, &c. In Scotland, the
p l a n t was first found in an old fir-wood at
I n g l i s m a l d i e , on the borders of Mearns-shire,
i n 1795, and since then in several similar
s i t u a t i o n s in the highlands of Scotland. In
N o r t h America, it has been found in a number
of districts, but most plentiful in Canada.
I t should be grown in a peat border, in a
s h a d y situation, where it will grow and flower
freely. It will also grow luxuriantl y in large
p o t s , filled with peat earth ; it is easily increased
b y separating the creeping stems when
rooted. The American plants are commonly

LÌNUM, Linn. From the Celtic word ZZm, a

L a t i n , Unum. LAnn. 5, Or. 5, Nat. Or. Linàcece.
These plants are mostly ornamental,
a n d well wor t h cultivating in every collection.
The greenhouse and frame kinds grow best in
a mixtur e of loam and peat^ and cuttings root
f r e e l y under a glass. The hardy shrubby
k i n d s do well in any light soil, and are inc
r e a s e d by cuttings under a glass. The hardy
h e r b a c e o u s species are well suited for ornam
e n t i n g flower-borders ; but the dwarf kinds
do best on rock-work, or even grown in pots,
t h a t they may be protected by a frame in
f r o s t y or very wet weather ; they may be
i n c r e a s e d by divisions of the roots, by ciittings,
or b y seeds. The annual and biennial species
s h o u l d be sown in the open ground in April.
The fibres of L. usitatissimnm is the flax of
commerce, from which linen cloth is made.
