433. ARBORICULTURE, Sensitive Plant.—

Your attention to one burthen I laid
on you, encourages me to remind you of
another, which is the sending me some of the
seeds of the Dionaea Muscipula, or Venus flytrap,
called also with you, I believe, the Sensitive
Plant.—
To Mr. Hawkins. Washington ed. ii, 3.
