Elements of Botany, Plate 14

From Elements of Botany:

"This plate represents the Medeola virginica, commonly called Indian Cucumber, from the taste of its root, or bulb, which is very similar to that of a Cucumber. It is a very common plant in many parts of the United States, growing in wettish woods.--The leaves are beautifully verticillate (verticillata). There is no calyx in the language of Linnaeus, but a corolla (which Jussieu calls the calyx), which is six-parted (6-partita), and revolute (revoluta)"

This plant is now known as Medeola virginiana
