Excerpt from Flora's Lexicon: An Interpretation of the Language and Sentiment of Flowers; With an Outline of Botany, and a Poetical Introduction

Our rocks are rough, but smiling there The Acacia waves her yellow hair, Lonely and sweet. Nor loved the less For ﬂowering in a wilderness Then come - thy Arab maid will be The loved and lone Acacia tree.

Excerpt from Flora's Lexicon: An Interpretation of the Language and Sentiment of Flowers; With an Outline of Botany, and a Poetical Introduction

The language of flowers has recently attracted so much attention, that an acquaintance with it seems to be deemed, if not an essential part of a polite education, at least a graceful and elegant accomplishment. A volume furnishing a complete interpretation of those meanings most generally attached to flowers, has therefore become a desirable, if not an essential part of a gentleman's or a lady's library. In the manual now offered to the public, an attempt has been made to comprise all that is important in the way of interpretation in a reasonable compass, and to adorn this part of the work with such quotations from the best poets of our language, both native and foreign, as have a direct and graceful reference either to the peculiarities of the flowers, or to the sentiments which they are made to express. The outline of Botany placed at the end of the volume will be found to contain a sufficiently clear exposition of the Linnean system to explain fully the scientific terms and the classification used in the body of the work.
